Kay Ham Poet Free verse

Worms

Worms crawl to the surface
To die
Commit suicide
We are like worms
Wiggling inside 
Our minds
Trying to break free
And fly
A bird catches us
In it's beak
And starts to flap it's wings
Carry me above the clouds
And help me breath
Let freedom ring
Don't carry me too high
So I can't find my way
Back down
The Earth raised me
From the dirt
The home of my heart

A worm can't fly
Only believe
And try

Don't leave me to drown
In your bile
Your talons pierce my skin
Scratching away at the pedestal
Leaving my words
Unattainable
Snap me in half
I'll keep squirming
My life won't stop
Just because I'm hurting
A worm's heart is it's body
It tears and it dries
But in the eyes of a bird
It is life giving

Don't carry me too high
So I can't see the ground
Don't carry me too high
So I can't find my way
Back down
