I am a caged bird
Watching from the windows
Molded by the world
Into beauty and perfection
No one sees the girl
Sitting behind the glass
Lost and forgotten
No one sees her cry
Stained glass windows
All around
Silhouettes of children
Fading away
No one cries
No one hurts
For the children
Society forgot
Perfect symmetry
Pristine condition
No one looks behind
And sees what’s broken inside
Tears run down
Salty trails trickling down
Broken hearts and broken spirits
All hidden by colored glass
I am a caged bird
Watching from the windows
Molded by the world
Into beauty and perfection
No one sees the girl
Sitting behind the glass
Lost and forgotten
No one sees her cry
Stained glass windows
All around
Silhouettes of children
Fading away
No one cries
No one hurts
For the children
Society forgot
Perfect symmetry
Pristine condition
No one looks behind
And sees what’s broken inside
Tears run down
Salty trails trickling down
Broken hearts and broken spirits
All hidden by colored glass
