I AM THE CROW

I AM THE CROW

A Poem by Jorge Ramos
"

I AM THE CROW. I AM ALONE

"

 

I am the crow.

 

What she did to me was horrible.

What he did to me was even worse

She ignored me.

He went with her

And ignored me completely too.

 

He promised me something eternal and wonderful

She played no part in this.

He obviously lied.

He promised himself.

He says it just happened.

 

But no,

Things don’t just happen.

You’re a best friend.

You do things for your friend so they are happy.

This is the second time this happened

With me.

Not you.

 

Maybe it’s just me?

Or maybe I can’t count on you.

You can’t trust even your best friend.

 

This has left my heart scared.

I cant do this anymore.

 

I'm out.

Cold

 

Its because I'm not like you

Not talented.

Not smart

Not brave

 

I'm just

Immature

Dimwitted

And a coward

 

A coward because

I can’t say this to your face

 

A coward because

I have to make something big

Out of this

Small situation

 

I'm sorry.

 

No wonder she’s not interested in me.

No wonder she’s interested in you.

 

I'm sorry to both of you

 for treating you the way

 I’ve been treating you.

 

I'm sorry.

 

If you two like each other.

Than go for it.

Its worth it.

 

It will still hurt.

A lot.

And will break me apart

But I want what's best for

My best friend.

And his companion.

 

I wanted her to be our

Companion.

To be our third.

The three amigos

The three musketeers.

 

But

 

It will only be the two canary birds.

 

 

And the solo,

The Outcast

The crow.

 

I am always the odd one out.

In groups of 4 I am the 5th

In groups of 6 I am the 7th.

 

I am the Crow.

The unwanted.

 

No need for any scarecrow emotions.

I understand the gestures.

 

I see.

 

Goodbye.

Canaries.
