Author's note: So, I am dyslexic and when I read my stuff over I will not always catch all my mistakes even if I read it over a hundred times. My brain processes information differently and my spell check thingy doesn't always catches my errors because I'll mix up two real words with similar spellings, so it won't catch it either. So please be patient with me, I'm getting better at spelling and catching my errors everyday by having others point out what I did wrong. That being said I want to hear what you think, I want to hear the bad and the good. But if I am to grow as a writer I need specifics on what you don't like, what you do like, what I did wrong, what I did right. That will help me grow a tone. I hope you like it!
They whisper lies into my ear
"They are only going to clip your wings."
They yell it in the faces of the ones I cherish
"You are only clipping his wings!"
They speak as if a curse staring me right in the eye
"You've let them clip your wings, little bird."
But all I can do is cackle at their false truths
Where did they get that idea?
I wonder always as I fly high or rest on one of my brothers shoulders
My wings whole and free
All I do is fly high
Maybe a little mockingly even if they are long gone
Taken away to another cell
Chained and bound as I smile
Speaking to the stars that my lost love ones fly on
"They haven't clipped my wings
They never will but they do try to teach me restraint
So I do not fly into the smoke and fall into the fires grip
Losing myself in the sting of the glowing lights
As it burns away my feather causing me to fall
Eating at my flesh, evaporating my blood
Leaving nothing but bones
Of a lost little bird that had flown too far too soon."
