Poems

Caged Bird

I wake up, but i'm still tired

My vision blurred

I'm feeling wired

I want to be heard

I know it's absurd

But i want to be free like a bird

I'm stuck in a cage

No one to feel my rage

There's no way to gauge

My pain, my story, you just turn the page

The words you say

You will pay

I'm not okay

I won't see another day

I can hear

You don't see my tears

I know it maybe queer

But i'm right here

I fight

You bite

I need the light

Or you will be right

About me losing the fight

You talk

I balk

You mock

I look at the clock

Waiting for the last minute to tock

Words have meaning

You keep leaving

I'm bleeding
