My heart is a bird that forgot to migrate

Fly, bird, why don't you fly away?
And the bird still stays
Even though it knows its a bad place to be

The bird's stuck there
Because its the only place it knows where to go
The only place it'll call home

And it knows there's somewhere
It can go and be safe
And the bird will like it

But it can't.
It wonders what it'll do
If the bird really did take flight
But it'll stay behind

My heart is a bird-
Who forgot to migrate

Jacqueline R. Mendoza May 21, 2025 at 6:49 PM I see you're the bird and u forgot to migrate, I'm not sure why u don't want to fly where though? U think it's a bad place your poem is somewhat hard to get what you're pointing to. Well I invite you to read some of my poems. It's about God and it's teaching, u should read some it'll be good for u, thanks... Jac JuliaJewls Jewls May 22, 2025 at 3:59 PM The bird is supposed to represent my heart, not exactly myself. If you know that, you can probably figure the rest out. Thanks for the feedback Jac.
