I see a little mockingbird
Perched on my ledge
How free it is
Bound to no pledge
Imagine soaring through the skies
With the wind in your hair
Nothing to worry about,
Not a single care
The bird turns around
Stares with glee
It opens its mouth
And starts mocking me
I shut the blinds,
Go upstairs
Shut my door,
And pull on my hair
My muffled screams
Will never be heard
I'll never be free
Like that little bird
When I'm done
I crawl back out
I fix myself
So no one will doubt
Bottle up my feelings,
Put them away
Go get ready
For another painful day
So far so good,
No one yet knows
That this is a cry for help,
Not just for show
