the little black bird
September 25, 2014
there is a little black cage
in that little black cage is a little black bird
it`s not like the others
it deosn`t just chirp as the others do
the fear spews out between the bars dripping
drip...drip...drip...
the metal bars are caving in squishing and burning it`s very being with it`s cruelety as it desperately tries to escape
seeing it deosn`t want to be the little black bird any longer
i see the want of being a bright vibrant bird
that`s seen
and free
it`s not a bird at all
it is me

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.
