POEM STARTER

Submitted by Its_Ady

Write a poem about a bird who was once human.

Even now, it remembers what it was like to have hands, to touch, to hold, and to feel. Now wings beat where arms once moved, but the memories never fade.

Caged

I try to forget,

The life I once had

The memories are strong,

And the roots, they are deep.


The people I knew,

Who I loved,

Who I cared for,

Who knew the person I was.


How I wish,

I could see

Even the ones

Who hurt me.


The places I’d been,

The ones that I loved,

And the places that scared me

To be


For the time

Moves too slowly,

And everything I have known

Is now dust


Memories painful,

I was trapped,

I was caged,

I wasn’t living the life meant for me.


But now, at least I am free.
