A/N:I wrote this right after I finished TKM. I just love the symbol of the mockingbird (and Boo!). I hope you like it!

Sweet little mockingbird
Hiding all alone
Trapped inside his cage
He yearns not for freedom, though
Silly, silly people
Can't you open your eyes?
Look a little farther
At why the mockingbird won't fly
He's isolated from the outside world
Not because of bars
But because what people say
Leave the deepest scars
He doesn't want to get caught up
In all these color games
He doesn't want to live where
It engulfs the people in burning flames
The flames, they are burning
Brightly, he can see
From his perch at the dirty window
The mocking bird is displeased
Since the flames still blaze
And there's no sign of them dying
He sits and waits inside his cage
The mockingbird is crying
A/N: I hope you liked it! Review and tell me what you think! Constructive criticism is welcome and very much appreciated. Flames are not, and will be used to toast marshmallows for a tasty snack.
