Black Bird

Sometimes I want to just lay and cry

In my silent despondency is where  all my sorrows be laying

in the dark

I know I'm beat up , in a place I sholuldve been

With no voice and no view

Black bird

That can fly but never flew

And they can tell you

still alive

But why pry out a moan so deeply felt 

Only to be shot down at the first sign of strength

I'm so weak

I cant move

And the tears well, but never stream

Misery is what I call this

Im stuck , still , petrified

Which way will the darkness lead my demise

Who am I but a trace

To death do I host

Seems like the feeding wont stop

I cant bring myself to move

But its not over

and its hardly ever just beginning

I am not invincible

What the dark wants it will have

It is my woe

that presses through 

My pain 

oh to breathe again

Just so swiftly that even I am astounded by this

And I wont suffocate 

No I wont ever break

Black Bird
