Caged Freedom

,
Arlecchino hugging Clervie after their final fight
The little bird is freed from the cage
No longer confined within the shadows, but
Who will hear my screams of rage?

Wounds bleeding through layers of bandage
After years of flapping its broken wings
The little bird is freed from the cage

On this cruel battlefield of a stage
Powerlessness is the biggest sin of all
Who will hear my screams of rage?

The absolute dominance that keeps us hostage
I curse that this is the only way
The little bird is freed from the cage

Too soon has our story reached the last page
But it's a relief that though there's no one left
Who will hear my screams of rage
The little bird is freed from the cage
