A Bird
A bird with no wings,
I can hear her sing
As the stars come to play.
Soprano's sweet melody that waves across
fields and fills
me with a fire I can't identify.
What is her song?
A girl with the happy eyes has her own demons
That claw their way out when you aren’t looking
The smile you’ve come to love has never been her real one
a voice chirps, giggles, laughs,
But the ones inside her head,
They sing and they scream.
She watches flames dance
And wishes to dance with
Glowing embers,
Just to fly.
She throws her arms to the sky
And screams
But all they hear is her melody.
A bird with no wings does not sing
