I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

She was raped when 8 years old.

The title is Solitude by Paul Laurence Dunbar.

I know why the caged bird sings, ah me, When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore, When he beats his bars and would be free; It is not a carol of joy or glee, But a prayer that he sends from his heart’s deep core, But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings – I know why the caged bird sings
