I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings
Write a poem based on this title from the poet Maya Angelou. You could read the original poem for inspiration!
The Song Of Hated And Pain
I am a bird,
But I am not free.
I sing every word.
I am not happy.
Some will say
I am doing great.
My heart is on a tray
For you to change.
Once, I loved to dance.
Now, I only sing.
If only I had a chance!
Sadly, he never listens, the king.
Oh, I don’t want to slave away
On this land that isn’t even my own.
However, I need to get my pay.
I hate the person who sits on that throne!
I bleed in song.
I show emotion through melodies.
The king should know he is in the wrong!
Oh, and he says he has no enemies!
*I don’t know if this makes any sense, I hope it does. I just needed to write to keep my streak going. Have a great day!*
