I'm like a bird
A coward in my cage
Free to fly away
But I'd rather stay
Pick my feathers
Make me bleed
And in the end when you're done
Could you please, please kill me
Like a Bird
by Jennifer Osterlund
This poem was written after a sermon I heard down in Venezuela on a Missions trip. We are the birds, and Christ has set us free, yet we still choose to coward in our cages, and let the devils pick at us, and if we stay there long enough it'll kill us.
