800
I never knew such beauty
Until I saw her wings
They were spread wide
Like a smile from eye to eye
A grin
Little did she know she could never fly
She wouldn’t even try
It was pointless to her because she thought she would fall
See she already lost the battle
Because she didn’t even give it her all
She gave nothing, she got nothing in return
But she stayed
Hoping her dreams
Of open skies and wind would go away
My heart breaks for the young bird
So eager to live, so eager to sing
Trapped in a cage, like a pet
Every day she would watch other birds for hours on end
She’d put a smile on her face
And sing a song for them
Little did they know it was all pretend
Years and years passed to no relief
Because like a caged bird indoors
She'll never know more than the rusty metal doors
