Mockingbird

why must you hurt me? Why cant you listen? I guess mockingbirds only mock you don't care of me, you care of your image with me because the mockingbird only mocks you say you need me, though I beg to differ but mockingbird you don't understand, for all you know is mock you want to love me, and keep me forever 'tis just the flattery of a mock bird I have life, not death for you poor mocked at mockingbird I might be dead but at least in the light,its better than a life buried six feet down poor, unaware mockingbird your large cushion nest made only of bones comfortable only for mocked old bird I hate you old bird, not innocent dove a raven mocked over time a black raven blind, flying through day don't you know its not dark yet, mock flight? Raven says don't be a prince he mocks the royalty he thinks it spoils an appetite of life bird mocks a portioned meal why must you hurt me? Why cant you listen? I guess mockingbirds only mock
