Analysis of Caged
Starring down on to my legs
I stood hearing what all had to say
When my life turned hell
Nothing else i knew rather than my home
All of that blood bonded stood aganist
Shouted pointing my intolerance
After they spoke upto their satisfaction
shamed of having me back from in laws
I raised my eyes to look at the one
Who stood starring straight at me
With my teared eyes that droped filled
I looked at my father standing still
My eyes just said one thing 'protect me'
He could feel it straight in his
With a tap on my head 'forget it' he said
Same as he said when i saw a nightmare
I felt that old child that was lost for years
All who barked had nothing more to say
They never knew i was brought up to live
No to die before death.
Having a father who raised a princes
His daughter cannot be the caged.
