I am Sparrowtail

I am Sparrowtail

I remember that day

I was trying to show off.

All I wanted was to be accepted

By the older warriors

The ones I respected.

I knew they all hated me

Because I wasn't born in their clan.

I wanted to show them

I was loyal

To them and nobody else

So I did it.

I jumped.

But now, as I lay here,

And the others have run away,

I am hurt.

Not just because of my bleeding pelt,

But also because of my broken heart.
