Caged

You look me between the bars

You smile at me

You bring all your friends

You showcase me

Here I am sitting and looking at you

I yell “help me”

I am caged in here

You get excited hearing my chirping

You tell me

What a good bird I have been

All I want is you to touch me once

To be in your arms

To be loved, to be warm

But all I am to you

Is the pet you feed

The one who lifts you up

When you feel down and bleak
