Anya Chebukina Poet I do not know?

Like a Falling Bird

A bird can fly 
A bird can sing
But it can also start falling

A human is like a bird

With feelings so fragile
With hearts that  can be pure
Even we some times
Can start to fall

So ask me
How does it feel to be a bird,
A bird that's falling?

My answer is very simple

Humans are fragile
They don't want hurt
They see themselves as kings 
But really are not near there

A person hurt by words
Is a falling bird indeed

A person pained for no reason
Is a falling bird

Many people are falling birds
Birds that never find there way back up

Now can you answer this

Are you a falling bird?

Solomon Storm January 27, 2010 at 2:18 PM hi, funny i should find a poem about birds, and the subject is treated much the same as a poem i wrote called "laughter", which i just posted. i am not a falling bird, i am a bird with a broken wing. but i personally could never fly anyway. you might like the poem, i just posted it. after i wrote it i found a bird with a broken wing walking home from the library, depressing, but still kind of neat.
