What is the price of freedom?
[ *  *  *  *  *  *  *  * ]
Caged Bird

Wait
Watch
Learn
Idle

All my life I’ve waited
Tethered to a leash
Always returning to the same place
Barely room to stretch my wings

Leashed, caged
Free only in taunting words
Freedom so close I can taste it
But I cannot sink in my teeth

I don’t want to wait
I’ve watched for too long
This place can teach me nothing
I cannot idle any more

A new door opens
Opportunity beckons
And I can feel it
Freedom at my fingertips

Reach
Grasp
Yearn
Live

Everyone deserves a fresh start
Don’t I?
What if I don’t want to wait for college?
What if I want to go now?

Will you tighten the leash?
Stuff me back into that cage?
Why haven’t I earned freedom?
I’ve been good for too long

It’s time for me to live
To stretch my wings and learn to fly
And though I don’t I don’t want you angry
I do not need your blessing

Though not technically adult
I can think; I am individual
Why are you so intent on keeping me?
I never see you anyway

This is the age of communication
The age of internet
And cellular telephones
I won’t be far

So let me live, damn you
Let me breath fresh air
For once in my life
And let me have this adventure
