I’m Just A Bird
July 18th, 2009
This is something a little different. Like most of my poetry it rhymes (I can’t help it) and it’s partially about writing but this one… I don’t know. It just hit me in the head and said ‘Hello!’ and I didn’t have any choice but to let it out. I don’t personally like how my rhyme scheme turned out, the flow feels off in parts but the poem itself won’t let me change it- a life of it’s own. :) Please enjoy and comment if you feel like it.
I’m Just a Bird
I’m just a tired little bird
Typing every single word.
Here I hop and there I chirp-
What are you looking at,
You little twerp?
So, I’m just a bird,
Too tiny and small.
Feathers too soft and wings too frail.
All I do when I fly-
Is fail.
But that’s the thing that makes me true.
Makes me different
And better than you.
So I’m just a bird
Who types about flying.
My words are my wings
While the twerp in you
Is grounded and crying
Because I may just be a bird-
But at least I am trying.

Dedicated to the bird in us all who is constantly reaching for the sky in every possible way we can.
All we can do is keep trying and take one day at a time. Easy to say… I know, but it’s true. :)
It is very true indeed, very hard to remember though. I wish I could take my own advice from time to time, would make things so much easier, lol. :) Thankies for the comment.
