Prisoner of my own device

3rd August 2012

Like the soul of a bird
With wings of stone 
My heart yearns for freedom
From a cage my own

I built it from my fears
Raised it from admonitions
And fastened the door tight
With the lock of expectations

My mind holds the key
Yet my hands shudder
Of my own device,
Alas, I am a prisoner.
