O' Little Black Bird why do you tease me so?
You're so lucky you're free to go.
I am locked inside
and it seems like my own demise.
You get to fly away
and for that I would pay.
Inside there is only pain
but for who's gain? ? ?
My home feels like a cage
and I escape to a book page.
As I escape into the story
and I steal all the glory.
He taunts and jeers
and down my face slide tears
I can't fight back
because he would hit with a 'Wack'
I tell my mother
but she doesn't bother.
This is why I want to escape
so I can change this cruel fate.
