Caged Birds

You know what we are?

We’re caged birds.

Birds trapped in a gilded cage.

They try to take away our freedom.

But will we let them?

What’s your answer to that?

We can’t let them.

But we already have.

So let’s reverse that.

Let’s make change.

Let’s rip apart that Declaration and make our own.

Make it better.

Make it freer.

Make it ours.

A Declaration of Independence from the people saying “We’re not staying in our cages any longer. We’re taking back our freedom. We’re taking flight again.”

  • My Thoughts

    A thousand thoughts pounding into my head ALL THE TIME.

    Whirring past at a million miles per hour.

    Filling my head with noise.

    The world makes it louder.

  • Sometimes

    Sometimes I wonder about the person I seem to be.

    Is she truly me or someone else entirely?

    Is it real or just a mask?

    And if she's just a mask, then who am I?

    Am I surrounded by lights?

    Or shadows?
