A Bird In A Cage

I have sat in here, for what seems forever
The bars, in time, have gotten closer together
The walls have enclosed over the years
With each obstacle, came the flow of tears
I just sat here guarding my baby, in our nest
Keeping her safe, so she can get her rest
But as the years went by, it got harder each day
With your temper flaring, we did not know what to say
We did not know, what would trigger it off
Nor did we know how to make it stop
We tried to find the key, to unlock this door
But that just seemed to make you scream more
The time has come to leave our nest
It is the right thing, it is best
For some reason, you don't want her or even me
So from this day on, me and my baby will be free
You see now, all you are is full of rage
Therefore these two birds must, now leave this cage
