When did you allow yourself to be caught

To be pigeonholed

And set aside

Why did you let someone

Else define your worth

Eagles were never meant to be caught

They were meant to soar

And so the same for you

Don’t let others define what you are worth

What you are capable of

Don’t let yourself be constrained

By the cage others want to put you in

Never let the eagle that is your soul

Be placed within a bird cage
