There was a bird's nest in the tree <br />There's only a sister to the other three <br />They barely chirp in glee, <br />At times, they may but will just end suddenly <br /> <br />When mother and father are away <br />A commotion will start without any delay <br />You'll hear brother birds chirp angrily <br />And little sister bird in a sad melody <br /> <br />Brother birds are always rude <br />They hurt her whenever they could <br />Sister bird always get bruised <br />But telling their parents, she never would <br /> <br />She'll just let out those pains to a cry <br />With the thoughts of asking 'why? ' <br />She'll say a prayer into the skies <br />As tears shed down from her eyes <br /> <br />One day, sister bird's patience got exhausted <br />She finally hit back big brother bird <br />With tears in her eyes, she yelled <br />'When you're old, I'll never help you when you're in need! ' <br /> <br />Brother bird got angry and shouted <br />'You want to be killed! ' <br />Furiously she answered <br />'Then make sure you left me dead! ' <br /> <br />Time passed and the little birds have grown, <br />She decided to fly away from home <br />Never afraid to live on her own <br />She's determined to be alone <br /> <br />Through the dark, through the storm <br />She's able to carry on <br />Though not having a shoulder to lean on <br />Sister bird has grown too strong <br /> <br />Through betrayals, through troubles <br />She stood by her principles <br />Her fighting spirit is unstoppable <br />She seemed to be unbreakable <br /> <br />After years of doing her best <br />She went back to visit that nest <br />Sister bird has now earned success <br />While brother birds are still in mess <br /> <br />She's supposed to be happy <br />Isn't this what she wanted to see? <br />Brother birds to beg for her mercy? <br />Yet her heart is filled with pity <br /> <br />She helps them when they're in need <br />A contradiction to what she has said <br />She can never be mean as they did <br />So sister bird just write it as a poem instead<br /><br />Joanna Maria Lozano<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/birds-on-the-nest/
