Someone bound my wings <br /> tightly to my side <br /> and told me to crawl like a rodent. <br /> so I did <br /> unknowingly. <br /> until today <br /> Splash <br /> My face hits the water, <br /> I am a bird finding fish <br /> flying flying <br /> Cool breeze of grass goes by, <br /> I am a breeze of wind <br /> It is me <br /> but today I am a bird <br /> I open my wings and show you my heart <br /> You say that I have changed but I was always a bird <br /> you say I am different but I just never knew I could fly <br /> Please don't look at me that way <br /> as though I was broken <br /> Please don't tell me I've changed <br /> as though you disapproved of me <br /> you see, I never knew I was a bird <br /> so please, <br /> just watch me fly <br /> and talk to me about my wings.<br /><br />Allison Virginia Massari<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bird-6/
