~Cage The Songbird~
A pretty bird born free
That feels beauty is for others
What her mirror sees
Are the blemishes undiscovered
Has a set of wings
Yet keeps them folded under
Born to loudly sing
But took on self doubt as her lover
Lives her life as is
She has never known another
Sitting on her perch
In the cage she's built around her
The title I took from an Elton John song.
I tried to think of another one
but feel this fits best...
