Returned once again
Slamming of cage doors
Alive never more, I wish
Pain is forged into a smile
A laugh hides my feeling
I fight back my tears
A shoulder to cry on
Is all I require
I ask for little
and receive even less
I am at peace in my asylum
So leave me be, now I smile
Now I cringe, now I cower
Fear races to my head
Doubt races to my sanctuary
Alone at last in dignity
