I’m chained in the feelings of sadness and fear.

I’m a bird and fears a human shadow.

A sunflower that is planted in shadow.

I isolate myself from everyone excluding my shadow.

I’ve got many words but utter none.

I shake my lips to talk.

However, before words can escape I turn into ice.

Freezing cold and vibrating.

I Want Outta This Cage

It’s too small for me now, I’ve grown up.

I need to talk now.

I need to express my feelings without fear.

I need the courage to face the world with unshakable confidence.

I want to live fearlessly.

I want to be happy,

And my happiness is outta this cage.
