O' Little Black Bird why do you tease me so? <br />You're so lucky you're free to go. <br />I am locked inside <br />and it seems like my own demise. <br />You get to fly away <br />and for that I would pay. <br />Inside there is only pain <br />but for who's gain? ? ? <br />My home feels like a cage <br />and I escape to a book page. <br />As I escape into the story <br />and I steal all the glory. <br />He taunts and jeers <br />and down my face slide tears <br />I can't fight back <br />because he would hit with a 'Wack' <br />I tell my mother <br />but she doesn't bother. <br />This is why I want to escape <br />so I can change this cruel fate.<br /><br />Aleksandra Lachut<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/o-little-black-bird/
