You compare me to "Them"
But am I really them?
You said I was different at the beginning
Now you remind me of a petal
Yearning to fall from the stem
Please trust me
I am not them
Though you compare me again and again
I am a different person
Just as you said
I am a bird
I want to fly
I'll pick up the petal that falls
And bring it high in the sky
With me
Tell me what's wrong
I want to help
But then you yelp
I cry
You cry
We cry
But then
I look
Into the sky
