Confessions of a Teenage Poet

Songbirds

Bliss and Ignorance walk hand in hand

Leaving me proud and confident as I stand

Despite the hardships of life

I fight through the sea of strife

And each day as the sun continues to fade

I wonder and wonder again if my dues are paid

In times of sorrow

All you can do is wait for the morrow

And let the river of time pass on by

And remember that the songbirds still chime.

It truly is a wondrous thing

That despite your inner hell, they continue to sing.

A reminder that life continues on

So it's okay to join them in song

Nature lives on and never ends

So smile, shine, and go with the wind

Because despite all the troubles that ring

The songbirds still sing.
