Caged Bird

I COULDN'T SLEEP AT ALL LAST NIGHT, FEELING THE WAY i DO.

i, HAD YOU ALL UP IN MY HEAD IT WAS LIKE HAVIN A FLU TYPE HEADACHE, hEART ACHE.

i, kNOW THAT IT AIN'T EASY BEING YOU, HAVING, ALL THESE SELF IMPOSED SITUATIONS GOING ON WITH YOU, IN YOU...

YET BEING NEAR YOU IN ANY SINCE, IS A DIFFICULT TASK, SO YOU MAKE IT.

YOU, KNOW THAT YOU ARE THE.... WELL YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE ONE THAT MANY DESIRE, AND YET AND STILL YOU ENTER-ACT WITH A FEW.

SHIT, THAT IS INSANE, EXCEPT FOR THOSE THAT ARE INTEMIDATED BY YOU, AND i'M NOT ONE OF THEM.

YOU, CLAIM THIS STATUS, AND YOU TALK ABOUT THAT, NOT JUDGIN, IN NO WAY, CAUSE I LOVE YOU.

TRIPPIN OFF HOW I THOUGHT SPECIALITY WAS A LOVE SONG ONLY ONE BIRD SANG, EXCLUSIVE, SOME BIRDS CAN'T BE, CAUSE... YOU NEED TO BE FREE.

FREE TO BE, WHO YOU THINK YOU SHOULD BE, AND THAT'S COOL, UNTIL OTHER'S HEARTS ARE DRAWN IN, HOPING FOR A HOPEFUL TOMORROW.  WHICH, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT IS DANGEROUS WATERS TO TREAD WHEN IT COMES TO GOD.

WHEN YOU DEAL WITH WOMEN, YOU ARE DEALING WITH GOD'S GIRLS, NOT YOUR OWN.  MATTER FACT, DIDN'T HE SurROUND YOU WITH MANY WOMEN that you LOVE, maybe SO THAT YOU CAN GET THE PICTURE??? 

I SUPPOSE YOU STILL HAVEN'T.  FROM MOM'S TO BABY GIRL, YOUR EYE GLISTEN WHEN YOU SEE THAT BABY GIRL... BUT ARE YOU FACING THE FACT THAT THE SAME DISPARE THAT YOU PRODUCE IN SOME WOMEN, IS SOMETHING THAT YOUR OWN WOMEN YOU LOVE MAY FEEL, INCLUDING THAT BABY GIRL, one day.

DO YOU REALLY, REALLY WANT THAT?? And them to feel that type pain?

DON'T GET ME WRONG, i FEEL THE WHOLE CAGED BIRD SYNDROME, AND I KNOW THAT VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE, BUT, BECAREFUL.

I, KNOW THAT I CAN'T CONTROL YOU, NOR DO I WANT TO, BUT LIKE I MENTIONED TO YOU BEFORE, WHAT GOOD IS CONTROLING SOMETHING THAT YOU MAY FEEL IS OUT OF CONTROL IF YOU HAVE NOT SELF... CONTROL.

AS I, TREAD THE FLOORS OF MY JUNGLE ON MYSIDE OF THE WORLD AND YOU, FLY FREELY AROUND YOURS, I THINK ON YOU, I, PRAY ON YOU, I ASK GOD TO BLESS YOU MIND AND HEART AND SOUL AS TO NOT ALLOW YOU TO... TREAD IN DANGEROUS WATERS OR FLY INTO DANGEROUS SKYS.  I ASK GOD TO PLACE HIS ARMS OF PROTECTION AROUND YOU AND ASK HIM TO CAUSE YOU TO RISE...

ABOVE EMOTION, EMOTION NOT BEING SUCH A BAD THING. 

INTO THE THINKING OF HE.  LOOKING AT THE BIGGER PIcTURE, BEFORE HE HIMSELF CLIPS YOUR WINGS.

ONE DAY YOU WILL BE A BIRD ON A BRANCH, WITH ME, ABLE TO COME AND GO WITH BEAUTIFUL COLORS OF ORANGE, RED AND YELLOW STREAKING BEHIND YOU AS A SUNSET, A TYPE OF PEACEFUL AURA, AS YOU FLY FREELY, TO BE YOURSELF.  FINDING A PEACE AND COMFORT... THAT IS TRULY A CONNECTION.

BUT, UNTIL THEN, AND UNTIL THE MOST HIGH IS READY, I WILL CONTINUE TO HEAR STORIES OF YOU, AND YOUR FREEDOM RIDE, CLAIMING ONE THING AND, BEING THE OTHER, NOT KNOWING, REALISING HOW EACH DAY, HAS AN EFFECT OF CAUSALITY ON ONE ANOTHER.

IF GOD SEES FIT, I WILL ASSIST HIM IN, SHOWING YOU THE RAY OF SUNLIGHT, FROM OUTSIDE THE JUNGLE AND YOU WILL FOLLOW IT OUT, OF THE HARDSHIPS OF THE WILDERNESS.

WHILE NOW BEING A CLEAN AND LOVING BIRD, NOW MOVING WITH THE WIND ON A TROPICAL BRANCH, YET FREE TO SEE, THAT WITH ME...

FREEDOM IS A GIVEN AS LONG AS TRUTH, FAITH AND TRUST IS IN IT.

YET FAITH AND TRUST ARE ONE IN THE SAME.

NO PAIN NO GAIN THEY SAY.... LIE.

PAIN IS GAIN FOR WHERE WOULD WE BE WITHOUT IT?

SO STOP FLYING SO LOOSELY, AND FEARING THE ACTION OF BEING MADE A CAGED BIRD....

CAUSE "I" CAN HEAR YOU SING, AND I KNOW WHY...

YOU SING AND FLY ... AS YOU DO.

UNCAGED AND TROPICALLY FREE.
