Caged

Feeling trapped unable to fly, never realizing or understanding why no matter how hard I tried.  
   
Turning in circles, searching a way out, with all my power I struggled without a doubt.    
   
Feeling like a caged bird with no room to breathe, all around me is nothing but selfishness and greed.    
   
 I can't see pass the bars so I xscape through the stars, in my mind it seems to soothe the scars.    
   
 Throughout my life all I ever wanted was to be able to gracefully smile, I never imagined I'd have to walk these painful miles.    
   
Day in day out I gradually take the bitter with the sweet, I just want to be able to stand firm on my own two feet.    
   
I started placing my pain in the palm of my hand releasing it all through my pen.    
   
Finally finding comfort in the center of it all, I've begun healing and I'm no longer taking a fall.    
   
My pain had a purpose one I didn't even see, but my release from this cage set my heart, mind and soul free.    
   
I can now spread my wings, and soar, I am now free and the cage is no more...
