Mature
Locked up and Shackle
But no chains to tackle
Try to speak
Am I really so weak
Try to write
But only darkness, my light

I know why a cage bird sings

Words once rolled like thunder
Now silent like a baby slumber
No paper for my expression
Paper but no pen for the lesson

I know why a cage bird sings

Sentences on paper like the page is blank
Emptiness and despair is all I drank
Unable to perceive what really is true
Once considered the best, my question, what to do? 

I know why a cage bird sings

No one holding, no one stopping
The horrors in my mind, causing my failing
I am my destruction
Like monstrous volcano with no eruption

I know why a cage bird sings

I long for freedom
My words are my crown, my kingdom
My words taken away only by me
I need to be strong so I can be free

I know why a cage bird sings

A song so sweet to the ear
Unable to move, brings only a tear
This is how I feel inside
Trapped in my body, tortured along ride

I know why a cage bird sings

No spoilers 🤫 ***** A desperate new mother can't remember the most violent night of her life - but she must confront the truth about the ghosts that have haunted her ever since.

The original version is still up on Wattpad, so if you're one of the folks who read it as I wrote it, you can compare how your feedback has changed the structure and content in this updated version.
