Answer 1

A free bird leaps on the back of the wind

and floats downstream till the current ends

and dips his wing in the orange suns rays and dares to claim the sky.

But a bird that stalks down his narrow cage

can seldom see through his bars of rage

his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings with a fearful trill

of things unknown but longed for still

and his tune is heard on the distant hill

for the caged bird sings of freedom.

The free bird thinks of another breeze

and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees

and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn and he names the sky his own.

But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams

his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream

his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings with a fearful trill

of things unknown but longed for still

and his tune is heard on the distant hill

for the caged bird sings of freedom.

Answer 2

What do you do when all you have is a knife and your skin

When all you think is that you cant have him

That you cant hold him

When your heart hurt

When you cry

All that can relief your pain is a blade and blood

When you hate that you love him

When you cant even tell him

Because its wrong

Because it wont help

Tell me what to do

Because I don’t know

I don’t want to make a mistake

Should I heel with what I can

Or should I look for another way

Tell me before I go in to deep in my skin and in my soul

i wrote it its weird and totally has nothing to do with me. but i have a big imagination.

Answer 3

My Hound Dog died when my still blew up

And the rain keeps falling down

and the county jailhouse waits for me

In my Mid West home town.

My daddy, died, mom died too.

when accidentally I blew

her brains out with her derringer

while I was cleaning it for her.

My first wife she died sweet Avaline

We married when first baby came

The Chapel pastor stood and said

we should have spent cash on a pram instead

My second wife and third as well

did not get on , so it was h**l,

with them three and my uncle Mack

Living in that tiny shack

And then my kids, was it twelve or ten

Most due back in jail again

daughter Jan became a w***e

but now she's my wife number four

The Sherrif runs and hides from me

cos of my gross dishonesty

and so long is my list of offence

the paperwork would be immense

So Incest bigamy and fraud

committed here not abroad

but drug dealing and distilling grog

it still aint fair it killed my dog.

Depressing eh

Only Joking

Answer 4

So Sad I Am

The hole in my soul

Tears I can’t control

How to pay this toll

The cost of what she stole

No more possessions

Useless confessions

Misguided obsessions

Whirlwind directions

As anger depletes me

Minute goals defeat me

This hunger eats me

Lost what completes me

Where do I begin

What waits if I win

Why bother again

When will this end

Not a good day to be alone
