THE BIRD THAT FLEW AWAY

I have kept you down
7 years
In my cage of house
Filled with redemption
Ever since like a slave you worked,
Day in and day out
Perhaps,
I have to remind myself
*That some aren't meant to be caged
Their thoughts are, 
Just too bright.
And when the bird flew away,
The part of me 
*That knew it was a sin to lock it up 
Did rejoice 
Sometimes it makes me sad though 
To let the bird go  

  *Reference to Shawshank Redemption
