Analysis of Broken Wings
A caged bird with talented wings,
I strive to grace the sky with gifts of hope and possibilities.
Lack of self-belief,
Endless nights of self-defeat,
Am I the cage or is the cage inside of me?
Desperately trying to break free,
So I can once and for all reach the blue skies,
In order to fulfill my destiny.
