Caged Bird
Not feeling it today
So I'm not gonna write
Forcing the words
Just doesnt seem right
Poetry is an outlet
A place to release
There must be some truth
Within every piece
The meaning is lost
When no purpose is served
Integrity is something
That must be preserved
Pressuring myself
To put something to page
Is equivalent to a bird
Trapped in a cage
Feathers and wings
Yet unable to fly
What is a bird
That can't touch the sky?

Thanks Fia. Just felt I needed a reminder. So many prolific writers here. Theres a temptation to try to keep pace.

I really enjoy and relate to this. A bird that cannot touch the sky may have to figure out how to live with clipped wings.

Yes, sometimes we "caged birds" have challenges, but just think of how it would be to not have either an up or downside. Hugs and love, Oral

Well said. Writing is something that has to happen on its own if there are no deadlines. Your words are total truth and should be on the wall of this place for everyone to see before they come in.

Good! Cuz I really meant it. I smiled as soon as I saw the notification pop up that said you had commented.
Shhh...dont tell anyone. Cant give anyone the impression that somehow you may have pierced my darkness a tiny bit.

What the hell girl? I have this carefully constructed dark brooding persona and you got me cheesing like a fucking school boy with a crush. What is this? What are you doing?

I really like the metaphor to writing with the caged bird. You put it so clear and refreshing.
It's a long journey way out.
Slow, practice flutters while enjoying every bit of it I hope!
