I am no bird
I cannot fly in the clouds
and I do not grovel on the ground
trying to trick slimy worms
no net ensnares me
you cannot keep me enslaved
and I will not stay here in your cage
pleading for your sympathy
I am a free human being
never shall I kneel before you
and you can never make me bow down
praising your indecency
with an independent will**
never shall I let you decide
and you can never govern my life
ruling with your tyranny
I cannot fly in the clouds
and I do not grovel on the ground
trying to trick slimy worms
no net ensnares me
you cannot keep me enslaved
and I will not stay here in your cage
pleading for your sympathy
I am a free human being
never shall I kneel before you
and you can never make me bow down
praising your indecency
with an independent will**
never shall I let you decide
and you can never govern my life
ruling with your tyranny
"I am no bird, and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being with an independent will." - Jane Eyre (Charlotte Bronte)
