Do you know why
the caged bird sings?
I do
He has no worries
No longer needs to think
No,
He no longer has freedom
But freedom is dangerous
Please cage me free
Set me free
I desire to be caged
I need love
I need a girlfriend
A serious one
Because as I'm loved by someone else
I love myself more
My life is dangerous
I have so much freedome
I'm out of the house 23 hours a day
Yes,
I think alot
I have nothing but problems
and money
How I envy that bird
He's so happy
He sings for pleasure
Rather than money
Please cage me free
Set me free
I desire to be caged
I need love
I need a girlfriend
A serious one
Because as I'm loved by someone else
I love myself more

Its truly interesting =] I like it a lot. At first when I read the first couple of lines, I thought "what the hell?!" and I was curious to find out the rest =P Anyways, thanks for entering, and good luck in the contest...

That was an interesting twist on 'caged', I definately wouldn't have thought of it as synonymous for 'free'. The idea was done very well, I hope you sort things out and find who you need.
Thanks for taking the time to enter, best of luck in the contest and sorry about the delay in commenting.

loved it

wow ! i laughed! when i read your poem i laughed ! thanks! been a long time since i did that.. anyway its cool i like the title, and i liked how you used the cage to signify real freedom, so few poeple realize what it feels like to be bound, to be really chained up,,

few people have been behind bars, been litterally chained up a/o bound on multiple acounts, so i know that from first person. And Being single is more humiliating and annoying than those in my opinion

it's heart-wrenching really.
i do love the write though. i'd say something more, but i haven't got the heart to do so momentarily.
