Canary

Stand strong don’t cry Or sink down on all fours You are exactly who you need to be You poor lovely canary Beautiful inside out Summer in its purest most beautiful form Flap and sing You were meant to be seen and not touched Loved from a distance Fragile but never hurt That is your true nature As far away as I am canary, no tree will block my view It brings me warmth to see your yellow feathers Every morning waking up to sunlight descending down on me Using my window as a portal Sing I always want you to sing I will be there planted every day in the grass Waiting for you to return to my fingers Wandering alone in the dark but not afraid Of the dark Try you best to scale the earth one foot after the next Avoid predators but do not Be afraid to face them Because although small you are powerful Your heart makes you big and heavy No one can hold you back with wings like those Canary You are beautiful and strong being Shining in your own light They say your bones are fragile Tell them its why you are a beautiful They say you are easy to shoot down Tell them you are brave and fast They say you are too yellow Tell them you are unique don’t let anyone tell you anything different than what you are Don’t let them decide how you feel about yourself Canary Remember you have tacked Cages, hunters, predators, and still come this far There is no better you that you can be So always sing and don’t ever forget who you are Canary
