Raven Wings

Raven Wings
Jenn Ganoe
A bird is whimpering
Calling out pain
A child is whistling
Laughing at the world
The bird is crying
So much pain in that lonely heart
Children sit smiling
Not caring but loving a lot
The bird flies up high
He takes another toke
children’s laughter
It just keeps pushing
Pushing him further on
Down the rope
The child screams
But the bird flies away
How to escape
The child goes home
The bird stays out late
So much pain
Blood trickles on down his wrists
From the jagged vertical slit
He smiles at sweet memories
Raven wings come closer
Suddenly he wants to face
Face the rest
He stumbles to the door
