why does the caged bird sing?

through the mind flows millions of thoughts a day,
where am i heading? i wish i could, i should have, God I've come to pray.
the least to say, its a 24 hour process over and over,
should i give up on my dream?, is this real?, is my heart getting colder?
the things you would say if you were a bit BOLDER but you don't after consideration,
i really like her, why does he do that?, uqh i wanna bash his face in.
sensations of the mind tricks of the heart, steady beats but racing,
is this love?, whats the point?, I'm not the cause of any problems i am facing.
tracing back to your dreams, or night mares, the lights, the darkness,
is this life?, what should i wear?, i got her attention but don't know how to start this.
it'll leave you tormented perhaps heartless i wonder if you hear this,
I'm tired, I'm dying, what would they think of these lyrics.
compatible to non-other, nobody near this, no where to find,
i wish she was here, i wish she would shine, i wish she could read my mind.
with all this stored away, hard to grind, it brings me pain,
maybe this, maybe that, Julio are you insane?.
i just want my gains, find peace, i pray to spread my wings,
that perhaps, indeed is why the caged bird sings.

its hard to explain the meaning to this, in a way you have to feel what i wrote.

the thoughts in our heads are like the bird in the cage, in the sense that theres a lot of things we wish to say but we keep locked up. the bird wants to be free, and we wish we can say everything on our minds if you understand me?

"...the bird wants to be free. and he sees what freedom would entail. so he sings a song of sorrow, captivity, and a longing to be free."

just like the things we think of on a daily basis.

freedom of the mind, is freedom of the soul...

hope you enjoyed..

well, this is a first...

First and foremost i would like to thank my Friend, and mentor, Andre Everette, for getting me involved in this...invest my time in something productive as he says...

I'm new to this so i'll try to make this one as good as i can.

Life, as we know it, year by year gets harder as we mature and sometimes you feel like giving up. May it be Money problems, girl Problems, Family problems what ever, we all find very difficult times in our lives. I have been through my share of difficult situations, thankfully i usually have someone i can rely on to help me through and give me great motivational advice on how to turn my bad luck as it seems, more beneficial for me. How to take negative energy and make it help me get better at this difficult task called living.
For one, as bad as everything seems for one, someone will always be in a far more worst position then you, so be very thankful and fruitful of everything you have because in less then a blink of an eye you can lose it all, the little things you have, can be the so much that someone else has if you catch my drift. I have learned my lesson thanks to my mentor in which i mentioned before, i used to look at what i had like "damn, my game looking weak man. i have so little of everything"...but what goes through ones mind as they stop at a red light in an inter-section somewhere and they see a poor home-less on the street, sending blessings to everyone sometimes with a smile on their face, wearing the same thing they wore the last two years, on a wheel chair with a missing leg. Due to things like this i am far more greatful of what i have.
Object is nothing compared to heart, and as long as you have a lot of heart, and a lot of faith, just know God is behind you in every little problem you think you have and will definitely help you through.
after all, God will never put you in a position that you can't handle....but you my friend, can definitely put yourself in a position that you can't handle...so just keep faith alive, and be happy of every little thing you have....
