Bird

I'm a bird, yet don't know how to fly

Wings clipped with meshed wire

Feathers soaked with heavy rain

I used to be so beautiful

But grace is gone, nil but a dream

Taken away by the traitors

Ripped from my shaking hands

Just why, why can't I see

Through the mist before me?

Trapped in a cage, holding the key

My hands are bound so tight

I cannot move, I cannot breathe

I'm screaming in helpless pain

Screaming out into the dark

Without a sound for ears to hear

Hidden from the eyes to see

Just why, why can't I reach

Through the mist before me?
