Because I can't rely on anybody that's chained to the Earth,
Because my spirit's born to fly but shackled to this dirt,
Because the voices lift my own through silent nights,
I need to stretch, I need to go, I need to fly, and I
Need a hand to push me to distant, calling lives...
Calling... to you...
Though I can put on a masquerade to hide forever, anyone can do it,
I just don't have the heart they need for me to go through with it.
These bonds of inanity, that're forcing my spirit to insanity as I
Coldly get herded under Reality's bullet and proceed to die,
These bonds force open those doors that blocked me.
I was restlessly seeking, I was ceaselessly fighting,
For wings that were condemned to another prison
Away... from me...
I'm calling thee.
As I reach for you,
Please reach for little me...
I don't want to be a distant star,
But I want to be like a bird, to be...
I want to be me, and completely free...
So,
Please,
Will you help me?
I'll fly all the way home, If you'll let me.

Description:
I've always admired birds, especially Crows, who are smart and probably the most like humans. I mean--some see them as cold or evil (ex: some shoot them as a hobby in places), but they are loyal (esp. to family), smart, and just trying to survive in a world messed up by us... It's not hard to relate...
Anyway, This poem is my feelings about my place in the world. I hope it's not too boring, and that you enjoy it. <(°A°)> Oh, and, it's freestyle poetry. - Date: 01/22/2009

I appreciate this. Its very good. I do recognize that you are calling it "freestyle poetry" but your rhyme scheme is so all over the place that it distracts the reader. Also, just a small thing, after and elipsis (...) the next letter should be capitalized so it would be:
Calling... To you. An elipsis represents that the rest of the sentence or quote trails off in another direction or is not being said. - Report As Spam
