Lead-Covered Wings

Never cry never whine-
But still you keep me trapped in here.
I cannot sing I cannot speak-
Broken because I’m trapped in here.
I write my thoughts…
Your eyes send a flame to these
loose papers.
Will you ever let me out?
Shadow stabbing tendencies;
You tie me down with the word of a lie
Because you lock me up in here.
You can banish my legs,
Pluck my wings.
But sooner or later…
I am getting the fuck out of here.
