The Little Mockingbird

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
