i know why the caged bird sings

my roomate's been carrying this book around in her purse for about four years now wanting to read it...
but you know, it's never too late to start, right?

captive to a notion i never got to touch, i sit at heaven's door
with heroes who have died for such and given even more
how can i bemoan this cage about my heart,
when i myself in here did fling?
the view is nice between the bars
it stirs my soul to sing.


and i find it kind of funny
i find it kind of sad
that the dreams in which i'm dying
are the best i've ever had
~ G. J.
