Flight

the bird is scared

the bird is lost

her trust has always been crossed

she tries to fly

they shoot her down

why does she even stay around

she stays away

she holds back

waiting for the next attack

her feathers are stained

her wings are broken but mending

her heart is crushed from the pain they're sending

her sweet voice taken

the bird is alone

she wants to try and make it home

the bird sets out again

flying for her life

a shot rings through her strife

her body falls

her wings are torn

but everyone stands to morn

you took her away

you love her beauty when shes gone

treated her life a chess pawn

her bright white feathers

stained with red

you stood and watched as she bled

a beautiful creature

stolen from the world

you didn't care and didn't realize

that when you stole that bird

you stole me, my thoughts, my actions

you stole my future interactions

you stole everything i could be.
