Slap a padlock on my mind
If you can only but try;
My thoughts cannot be confined,
My freedom you won’t deny.
Am I so small, so fragile a Bird,
Unnoticed, with a broken wing?
So weak to utter a noble word,
Unable to sweetly sing?
No! There’s so much to learn,
Inside there’s a tender heart;
Passion’s deep within do burn,
Just haven’t had chance to start.
Don’t think you can control
My life in every way,
I am a patient, but strong soul
Just waiting for the day
When retribution will call,
Then release, as from a cage
And freedom to walk so tall
With no more seething rage.
