Songbird


Feb 11, 2004
In the darkness of sleep,
A songbird beats clipped wings
Against the bars of terrible fear.
Wander up and down the stairs, to and fro,
Hurling a response to the stillness.
Cries laugh
And quickly, because there is no way of killing voices.
No more within me.
No more time.



Found poem from a page from Anne Frank's diary.  I wrote this in 8th grade.  Cut up the exerpt and glued it on teal paper.  Then I drew a bird in a bird cage on it.  I have no idea where it is now.
