i know why this bird can't fly
why it'll no longer soar
why it won't fly anymore
why it'll never feel the wind
underneath it's wings
any longer
why it'll never
fly amongst the clouds and
skyscrapers of the city
i know why this bird can't fly
it's because this bird is me
it is injured
it's wings are clipped
and it is bruised
hurt by all
as am i
but once so long ago it was a
happy happy bird
uninjured,unclipped
unbruised,unhurt
it'd fly so high you'd never even reach
so high into the sky
flying on it's dreams and
hopes of a world to come
but now it is harmed
it has been killed
broken by so much evil in
it's once beautiful city
so believe me when i say
that i know why this bird can't fly
no longer into the sky
i know why

Good analogy of the bird (you) with broken wings. Don't give up! Even birds can learn to fly agan if
they wish. I like your graphics too! Maybe you can help me find some on fantsasy--dragons an wizards!!

nice write
Yes and people can also be like this bird that cannot fly...bruised, beaten, clipped, injuried. You did a great job on this one too. Keep up the great writing young poet.
