I haven't been posting for a while due to personal issues. I'm posting alot of my old stuff now because I know none of my recent works would be allowed here. Anyways I hope you enjoy this one..

"Bird"

I know you can hear me
But are you listening
I know you have eyes to see
But do you care that I'm glistening
Do you think I want to die?
Is that for you to decide?
Or do I just want a shoulder so I can cry
Is there no one for me to confide?

What do you care if I die
You won't even notice unless I learn to fly
And if I manage to capture flight
Even then will I be clouded from your sight?
Look at me
You're trapped now and I know you can see
I will be heard
I'm no longer a caged bird

Very well done, nice to have you back.
And well done rhyming "Listening!" I'd never have done so.
See you around.

I thought this was ok. It's nowhere as near as good as most of your work, yet the message itself was quite nice.



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
