Bird's Eye View

Once I dreamt I was a bird

I was flying high above the ground

But soon, I was tangled in the string of a balloon


I looked down, and saw a small group gathered around a grave

I looked closer and saw that it was me and my family


None of us were crying

Half of us never met the one in the grave

The other half had no tears left to cry


We left flowers, paid our respects, then left

The string that was holding me suddenly let go

I started plummeting to the ground


When I hit the ground, I noticed I had fallen on the grave

It felt as though there were chains on my limbs holding me down

But there were no chains, only my mind playing tricks on me
