This Little Bird was meant to fly
And when she did she flew so high
In the sky, she spent her days
She knew no limits, she wouldn’t break
She was happy, she wasn’t afraid
Afraid of the consequences our actions make
One day when that little bird flew
She fell into a void that only grew
She crashed into this void on an ordinary day, an ordinary flight
This Little Bird never fell and didn’t know what to do
She crashed so hard and every part hurt
Her wings were torn and cracked
Her heart ached to escape, to go back
In this void, she was surrounded by emptiness and pain
Pain that couldn’t fade away
Why does the emptiness make who was once a happy little bird feel so hateful
She used to fly so high in the sky
But now she just falls lower and lower
Everything she loves is out of reach
This hole inside her grows so deep
Little bird cries, Little Bird weeps
So much a puddle forms at her feet
She sinks
She’s gasping for air
Reaching for something to hold
How could things go so bad
Why cant she save herself
All she wanted was to fly
Not to be alone, to wither and die
All she wanted was to feel the wind under her wings
Not to feel every feather fall off at its seams
All she wanted was to love and be loved
Not to be soaked in tears and blood
Her world is broken, too damaged to be fixed
Because what is Little Bird without her wings
Without her passion and the want to sing
What good is your voice when you feel like you cannot speak
Like what you say won’t change a thing
Like you have no purpose without your wings
Then that void comes crashing down
Blocking any hope of breaking out
You spread out all that’s left of you
And slowly come to the floor
You slow your breathing and make no sound
You don’t let yourself feel anything but the jagged ground
You close your eyes for the very last time
And remember what it was like to fly
But you know you’ll never fly again
Goodbye little bird, Goodbye
