There was once a blackbird with a sadness in her heart
Who had a song hidden within tearing her apart
So one day when she had enough
She put on her brave face and got tough.
Her song went like this :
Why is the truth so hard to tell
When you know I know you oh, so well.
You see, you think you've had me fooled all along ?
I think that commends, for a round of applause!
For your acting was quite great.
Please don't allow your ego to inflate.
Because what you did was quite cruel.
A soul with no moral concept of the basic golden rule.
I choked on the lies that were told.
On the hurt that you bestowed.
Upon an innocent bird, whose undying love always endured.
I thought I was broken,
for the necessary words that were never spoken.
But, I'm no longer a victim of circumstance
for I have been given a second chance to see...
That the truth I needed to hear was always in me.
So the beautiful blackbird was able to heal.
Finally able to know what was truly real.
She soared up high forever singing her truth of love and the power it has to forgive all lies.
