Why The Caged Bird Screams Poem by Leon Agnew

Why The Caged Bird Screams



It wells up inside, you know
And I can't take it, you know
I can't hold it in, you know
I just wanna let it go.

But I can't let it go, you see
Cuz I love you, you see
And I want you, you see
But you just don't love me.

And so I'll wait, I will
And you'll see, you will
And we'll both be happy, we will
It'll all be good, it will.

Don't you know me, pretty bird?
Don't you want me, pretty bird?
You don't like me, pretty bird?
I can't take that, pretty bird.

So I'll push you a bit
And I'll touch you a bit
Then we'll wait a bit.
We'll see how things go, pretty bird.

And so I'll wait, I will
And you'll see, you will
And we'll both be happy, we will
It'll all be good, it will.

I'm a caged bird, sweetie
And I'm a-screaming, sweetie
Won't you let me out, sweetie?
You're looking at me funny.

Why sing, when you can scream?
Why breathe, when you can scream?
Why do anything, when you can scream?
They hear you when you scream.

And so I'll wait, I will
And you'll see, you will
And we'll both be happy, we will
It'll all be good, it will.
