Promise Land by Matasha Lee

Free birds fly,
Caged birds sing,
I’m on the journey to what was promised to me.
I’ve had my moments where I only had a song,
Wishing just to be free,
But not knowing when that day will come.
Hope, I whispered too.
Peace, I sought.
Somewhere over the rainbow,

Until I couldn’t take the fact that my wings no longer moved.

And my heart refused to create a melody with my voice,
So, often times, it cracked.
I had to do something to get my freedom back.
Day by day I shook my cage,
And told myself, I must be free.
Day by day
