Birds fly free
like thoughts
Which never meant to be
Thoughts which you let out
Like nobody even cares
You never mean to speak them
But the truth is
You see
They hurt those that you love
Your thoughts are birds
Free from the cage of your mind
Free to pick at the innocent worms
Which hold places in your heart
These birds
Pick at your best friends
And make your mother cry
Birds that never
Show they love you
But they make you want to die
Birds who grasp
All the pain
in their wings
Birds that
Make you say
Hurtful things
Until apologies
Are no longer enough
To redeem
Those words you've said
Birds that hide the sorrow
We like to call them sparrows
Because they're trying to spare you
And when they hide that sorrow
They like to throw their arrows
And the arrows just inflict
The pain on them
Which you tried so hard
To eliminate
