“uncaging these thoughts”
.
thoughts hold on like a spirit that can’t move on
creeping, passing time through the cerebral of my mind
keeping me caged to an unrelentless cycle of sadness
bound, silence coils the voice inside of me to be silent
to meditate to find peace within to release my pain
tears dripping from my eyes
i’m a weeping willow caged within many thoughts
but i’m strong
still trying to break free tho
trying to find a way to flap my wings
to find quiet time inside this mind
that runs wild like the wind
i breathe in deeply
briefly expanding my mind
it fills me with clarity and understanding
power is in me to be free
Maya Angelou said it best:
“But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing”
i am that of a caged bird trying to be free, happy
i just have to choose to be
sad days will come
i just have to choose not to stay there
