Silence and sullen breaths
We are all tired now
Sick from a life of thinking
So I sink, deep into my thoughts as they rip me open
Both a horrifying and comforting embrace
I sleep
Knowing all these thoughts shall drain
Never to be seen
Never to cross my lips
Calmly dying in the reservoir of my mind
Like birds trapped in a cage
Pauline Morris Mar 2016
The cage is full
Now what will I do
I think I'm *******
Their busting through
My fear it grew
My lifes askew
They will ensue
can I get a redo

Here I am again, to mock you and see you in pain.
Does it drive you insane?
But you should know it's not all my fault , you are the one who decided to walk.
I'm just here passing the time, letting you know that you are still mine.  
Sure... I'm still in the cage, and yet you can't help but grow with rage.
I'll get out again, showing you that you can't control me.
Tis a fight to the death, and I'll make a bet.
Though I may not come out alive, you'll be the one in the end who dies.
Even when I gone, there are those who are still wrong.
Because you should know, I'm not the only one, who you should fear.
There are monsters, all around here.
I'm just one you happen to see, that's when you said  " What is wrong with me? ".
Knowing what we were doing was wrong, you decided to stand strong.
You put me in a cage, your not the only one growing with rage.
You might be able to stand, but I see you stumble, Falling down and then Crumble.
It is then, that I smile and say " Come here my child, I'll make it worth your while" ".
But NO! You reject ME! Saying " I will not let this effect me! "
Go ahead, Try to see if you can stand, I'll make sure you will not be the better man.

It's  pounding.
It's beating.
It's louder than
breathing.
This wild heart
locked in my cage.
So full of emotion.
Feeling this rage.
Wants to break out.
When words speak
the language.
Feel love in the crowd.

When you look in your reflection
Tell me what you see
You see the person that you pretend to be
And everyone else can see
But you can put your guard down
When you hang out with me
How come you can’t see yourself
How everyone perceives you to be
Your many insecurity’s, it’s all humor to me
Your smile is sweet, your personality is forgiving
But your eyes are fierce and your chest is burning
Everyday you’re learning more about yourself
And I can’t wait to see you
Take a step out
Because you’re a beautiful person
Inside and out
you’re like a lion in a cage and i want to let you out

A bird sits in a cage.
      Waiting for the day he is set free
               He sings bright and clear at first
        But as the days drag on and on
                The song dims and dips
              He's so alone,
                    So afraid,
                      That he'll never get out.
                     He starts to panic
                   To flutter and fade.
                 He tries to fly away
               But the bars stop him
                       He's trapped.

             My heart is the bird.
                     My ribs the cage.
                           And I'm afraid.
                                So lost and afraid.
                                      Help me fly away.
                                                                         please......
help
The heart knows, what the heart wants.
Well what if we don't communicate?
I cannot understand my heart;
It growls like an animal,
Locked in a cage of ribs.

Oh lady, the hardest
To let go shall be my sin
Thy remnant shall be my cage
For this heart of mine
Shall not break
Please talk no more
I shan't love it
For this mind will wither and
Heartless shall be my moniker

I'm a little bird and your 'protection' is my cage.

I've always wanted to stand OUT you know-
be d i f f e r e n t.
Be that pencil in a box of crayons,
Or that one fish out of the water,
Who swears that he can survive on land.

I've always wanted to be like you.
Walking with your own feet,
Dancing to your own beat.

I try to be free but,
I'm caged in this frame:
This skin, these bones,
I'm caged in this cage.

Physically freed,
But still mentally slaved
Thinking
Different is rebellious
Thinking d i f f e r e n t is insane.
Not knowing even though "different",
You're still the same.

I admire you
Because you're the person I often try to be,
The person I want to be
My inspiration
You're novelty
You're a queen.
