A bird

There once was a bird
Little caged up affair
With dreams of wings
And a goal to bear

That little bird
Knew how to sing
Knew when to talk
Knew what to bring

That caged up beast
Tired of being tied
Decided to die
If it meant to be free

That pretty little being
With scars as feathers
And tears as eyes
With heart and soul
But never felt alive
