Caged Blackbirds by ~Gi-sa95:iconGi-sa95:





This is what I have become, a cage.
Holding all these little black birds with even darker secrets inside.
I hold it close to my heart even though I want them to fly away,
But when one does I want it to stay.
I never feel fully there just empty,
yet crowed by the emotion.
The more I think the more I fear,
of them all flying away.
So I crawl into the cage,
to become a blackbird myself.

Sorry if it is a bit confusing. I haven't wrote poetry in a long time. If yo don't get it I will explain (there is two ways to) look at this . The first two lines refer to secrets. Line 3&4 is the fact of wondering if you should tell someone or not and what you feel like if you told the wrong person. The next two are you never feel like you know enough or have a full understanding yet you feel lot emotion from it. You worrying about telling someone about the secrets, is the two after that. Finally get to overwhelmed by the secrets and hide your self.

The second way to see this is as emotions or your opinion on something (kinda going with the secret theme but instead of someone telling you the secret it is your own)

The second one is more like me, even though I wrote this think of My oc Amethyst. Anyway, I planning To draw a picture to this. I will try get it done soon but I may never get it done. What ever.

EDIT:
That picture is not mine I found it on Google images

This is a fantastic poem!! Thanks for pointing out your other poetry. There are so many ways to think about this... its really thought-provoking. It's very nice; I like it! I like that you said 'blackbird' rather than any other bird. There's a certain loneliness, a darkness to the blackbird... I don't know...
Good job!

I like this poem! it can be read in different levels of understanding which really enrich the nuances of meaning. I
specially like the metaphore of the blackbirds as our black secrets which we do not want revealed or in the open.
I agree I would rather become a blackbird myself!
