"Fenced In"

With only a wall between

Me and my neighboring resident
I encounter different views
Of volume of music that's evident

A free spirit am I

Never before contained
A bird on the winds of belief
Never before constrained

A bird in a cage

Is a sad creature indeed
Looking for skies
Which it knows fills the needs

I could never be comfortable

In a world such as this
A world of fenced-in freedom
Is a place with much to miss
