Songbird

How long has she become like this?

Sang her heart out to no one,

Being in a cage, trapped, no one there.

She is beautiful since she is the songbird.

How long is she going to wait?

Staying inside, waiting to be free.

Lock inside a cage, to be heard.

She is still beautiful because she is the songbird.

Why was she here?

Why she have to stay?

She wants to see everyone, her friends, and her love.

But why does she have to be here again?

Is it a nightmare or a dream?

Is it really the reality of how it came to be?

She wanted out, but the bars wouldn't crumble,

Because she is the songbird to the owner.

She can't leave,

She couldn't, with the owner alive.

The owner then released her, tired of her songs perhaps.

She was then covered in red paint and slowly drifting.

The owner killed her,

She wanted to be free visibly,

But she isn't as she saw that cruel smile of her owner.

She wasn't able to leave him.

He wouldn't let her go,

Because she is the owner's songbird locked in that cage.
