You knew the word was hurtful to me.
Yet you still continued to the pluck the feathers off my wings.

Each time you said it each time I loose a feather.

You soon had left me flightless.




It isn't until they say the name I realize I hurt.

I am hurting.

I will hurt.

I've been hurt.
It hurts.



The name.




It feels like arrows striking me through.

My feathers fall more quicker.



Was I suddenly an enemy? Am I in your line of fire?
Why did you treat me like this?
I came to you like a free bird but I left with damaged wings and an inability to fly.



Why did you hurt me like this?
You had the power to build me or break me.
A strong power you had.
I guess you got too carried away.



You knew this one single would would hurt.
And it was painful.



You knew what it was.
And It hurt.
