On my shoulder, a raven rest. Her talons pierce my skin, as I hold her weight. No one sees the raven, I hide her very well. The raven can never fly away, She is bound to me. The raven wants to be seen, Be heard. She screeches beside my ear, She drives away my sanity. The raven has been with me, For awhile now. At first she was small, And barely noticeable. As time went on, The raven grew. Her size grew along with her strength, And also her desperation. The raven wants to be free. She wants to fly away, To some place else, And leave me behind. Why did the raven come? Why can't the raven leave? Is the raven even real? Am I insane? I am the raven. She is me. I am she. The raven is me.

The Raven
On my shoulder, a raven rest. Her talons pierce my skin, as I hold her weight. No one sees the raven, I hide her very well. The raven can never fly away, She is bound to me. The raven wants to be seen, Be heard. She screeches beside my ear, She drives away my sanity. The raven has been with me, For awhile now. At first she was small, And barely noticeable. As time went on, The raven grew. Her size grew along with her strength, And also her desperation. The raven wants to be free. She wants to fly away, To some place else, And leave me behind. Why did the raven come? Why can't the raven leave? Is the raven even real? Am I insane? I am the raven. She is me. I am she. The raven is me.
The raven is representing the internal conflict someone is having about being theirself and being who they really are.
