Caged bird ๐Ÿฆ

I know why the caged bird sings
Sings within me
 sings in falsetto
 sings of sadness wrapped in deceit
 songs of loss
looking to retreat
I see arms stretched out so close
But I still can't reach
Only I can free me
I'm mute yet hear them singing
Alone but not weak
The only ones who heard my heart from inside
Now beats outside of me
Only my Happy songs they heard
Yet their vision isn't blind
So I hav to be free
 free to fly
free to soar higher
 free to live off volcanoes
My soul is burning, subtle coughs
 free to love soft
 free from covered ash and soote
Free from words tha cut arteries
Need to be recharged
But my car has dead battery too
Free to try
Free to cry
Thank you for my freedoms
The lava formed strong rock
My soles are black yet sturdy
Face masked with pretty
Shedding what's underneath
Though my oily skin holds on tight
Not letting the shedding skin to fall off
Cancerous ball rolling on platelets
What potion will release
Sign says "don't feed the ducts or ducks"
Long term effects unknown
My sight chopped and screwed
Remixed my songs
Jus trying to hold on
Get these arrows out my chest
The cheif has committed treason
 slowly holes replenish anew
Red streams of him trickling down my waist
Salty lakes too bitter to taste
But freedom is here finally in place
Melting my cage into something new
Leaving jus me
Freedom to feel bad
Freedom to now heal
Radiation sinks in from everyone
 why sing without a smiling heart
I ain't sorry for any part
Building towers on that rock
No skyline for me
Free to breathe a sigh of relief ♥ ๐Ÿ’•
