Bird sings
I am scared to live in this world
Where people advice you to
Remain in a cage
Because you are a beautiful bird
And monster birds will eat you


That beautiful little Bird asks
What is my mistake
Why can I not fly
Monsters are cruel
You should punish them
Why me?


They say
We cannot catch them
We cannot stop them
We are not god


And they catch that beautiful little bird in a cage**...

Poetic T
playground of feathers
upon heavens blue blanket
winds whisper to them
I never thought much about the how the seasons change
It was a fact of life that seemed to float right past me
I never appreciated the change it could bring until I visited you
The place where your body rested under a stone name tag
Was colder then the spring air
So when I knelled to speak to you like I used to
I was shocked
Flowers had started to bud in the freshly dug soil
And it suddenly hit me that you were gone
Time wouldn't stop for you or I
And I had to start over
For the first time in years I wept like a child
I can no longer live in the shadows for I might wilt
So I'm sorry that I must go, I might never visit you again
But I need to find a place where I can bloom
No, what is life without fear?

Yes, what is growth without seed?

You have been an impostor to yourself,

and the mirror is opaque.

Tremors loom faceless choirs,

bellowing runes of disjoint.

Subconsciousness cradles reality,

and awakens the false soul.
