My Bird
My Bird
A bird of sadness hovers
Mostly circles
Sometimes lands
It's always been there
It's my bird
Or maybe, I'm it's man
I know I'll never lose it
It's my fate
I understand
Sad destiny is painful
if you're smart enough
I am
It's arrogance to think,
I think
that this is only mine
But sad to think of others,
with their buzzards
marking time
If wishes could be horses,
then the beggers
all could ride
If I could just be someone else,
I couldn't be
I tried.
