Mike van de Pol - leeg

Sometimes 
I feel so empty, 
don't know who I am 
or what to do 
to feel alive, 
so colorless 
and without meaning

till a bird 
lands on my shoulder, 
whispers in my ear 
that I am beautiful 
and perfect as I am

and then it feels 
as though 
the metal of my cage 
( I built myself ) 
dissolves 
and I am free, 
free as the bird 
that landed 
on my shoulder
