The Bird.

How to convey
What it felt like?

To be the small, broken bird-girl.

Dirty and tattered. 

Desperate and afraid.

Needing to be saved. 

But constantly heeding danger...

How to explain

The relief he brought?

When he picked her up on her dirtiest day

And promised to take her home.

How to reconcile 

The reality of that salvation?

The price she paid with her heart.

To be only what he wished her to be.

And how ashamed of her own song.

How to delight 

In the final transcendence?

When the dirty, tamed, small broken bird-girl

found her wings and soared toward the sun.

And today...

How to negotiate a new reality. 

One stripped of fear and submission.

How to create a light from within,

To never feel small and broken again?
