2 Birds

I'm a pebble in the ocean I've washed away all my emotion I'm falling deeper, their surrounding I'm falling faster, but I'm not drowning You're a feather in the sky You were born knowing how to fly You chased the rainbows all day But you can't seem to fly away What's worth more, what your given or what you earn? Silver platters they tend to burn You gotta earn it don't take, beause true love ain't fake Don't look down, your eyes get clouded Trust me, I know all about it Just enduring doesn't mean your strong What's helped you has hurt you all along I've followed your words like a sinking star Chasing the horizon that seemed so far Staying up all night but I still have dreams My life looks bleak but it ain't what it seems I'm the feather and your the pebble I'm flying high and your drowning in trouble I've always chased your back, but I've been chasing shadows Because you took your wings for granted and now they're in shackles Locked up behind the cage in your heart When the sun went down, your world fell apart You let hatred consume you, so the darkness now rules you You can't preach what you don't practice too Looking back when you tell me to face forward, it's hypocrisy Your a slave to your own philosophy When you look too far ahead you lose sight of what's in front You tried to be perfect but you weren't, if I were to be so blunt You can't be perfect because your only human But I don't care because you'll always be my woman You wanted to be looked at and loved more and more You wanted what was never given to you before They looked at you with awe, and wanted you in spite of who you are I looked at you with passion, and loved you because of who you are We're each other's wings and we're each other's rocks Together we'll fly farther and higher than any flocks

You have written a poem (a Rhyme) that has a sort of rhythm that I can see performed on stage. Is that how you have it in mind too? Welcome to PoetrySoup

Yeah, I was aiming for something catchy that I could see someone perform, but also something deep and emotional.
