    There is a little angel
    This angel is stuck
    Her body isn't right
    But its something she can't fight

    She sees things through a one way mirror
    She sees out, but they don't see in
    This angel just wants to be free
    To spread her wings and touch the sun.

    But her wings are tied back
    They are bound by strings unknown
    She tries to break them, but it only hurts worse.

    This angel wears a mask
    One she can't take off
    It defines her

    When she looks in the mirror
    The reflection she sees
    Is not her own

    What she sees staring back at her
    Is a strange young man
    The boy is almost crying
    She sees the shell she is confined to
    Covered in scars and cuts
    Healing but never forgotten

    Why cant people see through the glass?
    Why can't this angel spread her wings?
    Why is this angel suffocating
    drowned in lies she spits
    from a mouth not hers

    No one knows who she is
    They call her by names that aren't right
    She and her not he and him

    She pounds on the glass of her body
    It never shatters
    The thin lines get wider every time she strikes
    But they still don't break
    Escape is so close but so far away

    For you see, this angel was born in a cage
    A cage called a boy.
