Ok so this is really good and really creative, but I must admit I'm confused by the story. Were told about maybe someone trapped, in something like a relationship or regret or fear, or literally trapped, but I don't know. But then in the second and fourth verse we get these six names, who are they and why would they hurt the old man, who is represented as a blackbird, which I love that since the black bird is one of my favorite animals, and my favorite way of representing something. But its hard for me to tell what its meant to represent. Is it him slowly realizing he's trapped, trying to subconsciously tell himself that he is trapped, or is it something else. But otherwise I love it so please keep writing, and please let me know when you have more lyrics I want to hear more.

Bonjour, SunsetTree.

The title to this poem is very alluring. It in end is what brought me here, however, the meaning or mood of the poem is lost to me when you wrote

Adam will set the bird free
Daniel will set the cage aflame
Jacob will set the bird free
Tyrone will set the cage aflame
Wesley will set the bird free
Mike will throw the cage in the trash

The blackbird is still locked inside the iron cage
Yet you call on the phone and you talk to me like it was free
All along it was free or so you pretend
I lie awake thinking of the lies
You assumed you'd get away with telling me
My perfect world was make-believe
The blackbird is still trapped inside the cage
