Caged like a bird
You kept me beside you
For your amusement
For your pleasure
In the cage I patiently waited
Until I could no longer
I thought you would finally set me free
When you saw my misery
But you simply bought me a bigger cage
About Caged Like A Bird:
Have you ever felt like a big bird in a small cage singing the same song over and over again? If your answer is yes, join the club.
I don’t feel like this all the time. But when I’m feeling down or suffocated, I occasionally feel like a big bird in a small cage. I wasn’t sure how to exactly describe this feeling. But recently I had my music on shuffle and “Big Bird In A Small Cage” by Patrick Watson began playing. I hadn’t heard the song in years but I could still very much relate to it. And that is what inspired this poem.
I think if we’re honest, most of us feel stuck sometimes. Whether physically, mentally, emotionally or in other ways. We all know that feeling but the best part of life is that things change and over time things will improve. Not always for everyone but for many.
Have you ever felt stuck? Like a big bird in a small cage and if so what do you do to get out of that situation and get into a better place? Let me know in the comments below because I would love to hear your thoughts. Or simply stop by and say hi!
