Bird With a Checkered Past

I met a quirky bird the other day,
  Who has a checkered past, they say.
  Many a nest she left in shambles,
  As she continues her rambles.
  Takes what she needs,
  Leaves others to bleed.
  A bolt hole might be the place for her,
  Could be away for some place to stay,
  Or run away.
  A home, a nest of all her own.
  Where she can store her stuff when done and ready to roam.
  A place to retreat and be alone.
  To atone or find an excuse for shredding a nest.
  Putting relationships to the test.
  Managing her quietude without all the rest:
  Compromise,
  Communication,
  Clashes,
  That help make nests some of the best.
  Failure to see the value in these will continue with failures for all the rest.
  Quirky birds will fill in nests,
  But never count on them to stay,
  They tend to ramble and fly away.
  Walk on the glass path they fill,
  But always remember," the bird has a checkered past,
  Relationships don't last"!
