Caged Bird

You think by now

I'd learn my lesson.

But I've been making

the same mistake.

And the pain is always twice as much;

The smiles are getting hard to fake.

Why can't I just forget the past,

And believe in what is now?

Why must I dwell in uncertainty,

The "what ifs" and the "how"?

My heart yearns for what can be.
But my mind is simply afraid.

Heartbreak is a high price for love

That I've already paid.

He carries two uneven pieces.

From the millions on the floor.

How many times can a heart get broken

Before it cannot break no more?

"A caged bird will never fly-
unless you set it free."

When will I understand

....

that caged bird is really me?
