birdheart

Caged bird
Singing songs about a life
You can only dream of
Where the air that saturates every empty space between these bars
Is an endless,
Open field
You can go
Explore

Where i don't fear you
Or fear for you
Your red feathers
Are my blood
Your song
My heartbeat
And i hold onto you so tightly
Thick gold bars make up my ribcage

I'm sorry
But i cant trust you
Not to fly too far away
To make the right decisions
I want so badly for you
to be
Right
To be
Good
To be

Just to be

And I'm sorry
But let me convince myself once more
That you singing songs of freedom
Is enough
That the bright red of your feathers
The saftey of this golden cage
Is worth
Giving up flight

acccccckkkkkkkk that was soooooo gooooddddddddd

i love the metaphor and any references to bones and ribcages so this is Hella

don't leave
can't stay
wish there was another
way
i'm begging you not to leave
all this pain my bones will cleave
from my soul i'll have to go
wish there was another
way
don't stay
can't leave
watching my blood trail teasingly on the floor
as the light leaves my eyes I implore,
"Don't leave!
Please stay!
There's always another…"
and i'm gone

Stay with me my blood!

i don't know what to say…thanks i guess?

I miss you
our world is collapsing
closer, and closer
but still miles away
its funny
you can know someone is alright
and still feel the pain
like your brain is running ahead of itself
and no matter what you do
where you run
You're still going in circles
As soon as you think you're okay
it comes back
and I miss you.

FUCK THAT'S GOOD i rlly love this

thanks!

Marching on
Marching forward
Marching to the beat of the tune
humming through bleached teeth
in the lonely desert sand

bleached teeth? fuckin awesome

Marching on
Marching forward
Marching to the beat of the tune

This seems so harmless until you get to the last two lines – i love it!

Really like this part!
I love that you managed to put something so subconscious into words 😊

don't stay
can't leave

Really effective use of repetition it makes the poem flow!

oh thank you

If I was an angel
I would fly very far away
Instead I am a mortal
With favors left to pay
If I was a vampire
I would get a second chance
Instead I am a zombie
Stuck in a bitter trance
If I was a hero
I would be loved by all
Instead I am a villain
Only destined to fall
If I was a knight
I could wield my mighty sword
Instead I am a dragon
Here to set fire to the world
If I was a princess
I could rule in peace
Instead I am a peasant
Falling to my knees
If I was a human
I could at least go out with a bang
Instead I am a ghost
And I can't do a thing.

that's amazing

o.o that's AMAZING!!!!!!

i- that was powerful.

(this may sound like nonsense)

Blurs

You were whistling so happily
Filtering through the door
It's nice to think, but honestly
You've not been here before
Hopefully, you don't agree
But it's vocal in your eyes
Your thinking's wrong, you were not free
And I don't always lie

It's quietly not stalking me
'Cause suddenly it's here
It's the epitome of normalcy
The silence of the years
It's hiding in the harmony
Of raindrops in the night
It's freezing, but I try to be
Seen in a better light

Oh, the bravery of melody
To try to break the knife
But duller blades or skin in teeth
Could always take a life
Tiptoeing feet will try to meet
The floorboards in scared silence
But blurs have eyes with which to see
The trapdoor for the absence

its so random that it makes perfect sense?
i guess?
it's amazing

Do you hear the creaking of your young bones?
Like they need to tell you something?
That you don't belong?

oh shit i like that one

thanks i was bored during service learning
