Beautifully Strong

For http://www.writerscafe.org/Ali%20Gay

Sympathy rise.

Teary-eyed downpour,

Amongst porcelain skin.

Grasp something more.

Stay strong, beautiful.

Little Birdie needs you.

Mommy dearest,

you’re his glue.

He knows you’re sad,

“Does he miss me?”

He’s too young to

Know you’re empty.

Worries form,

You’re not to blame.

Little Birdie needs you.

You’re his glimpse of fame.

Stay strong, beautiful.

You’re tougher than you think.

Karma will hit twice as hard.

His ship will surely sink.

Burden tomb

Inside your heart.

Little Birdie needs you,

Don’t let him see you fall apart.

Doodles dancing in the air.

Paper pain.

He’ll realize his mistakes.

He’ll see you through the rain.

Happy endings

Are children’s tales.

It gets worse before it improves.

Stay strong. Good always prevails.

reading this poem makes me think back to how you were always there for me. Everytime I cry.

My favorite line, "Teary-eyed downpour"
Loved the piece. And I just want to say, poor birdie. I can imagine a little bird flying through the rain.
It was very expressive and reaches out to the reader.
