Raven

A Crying Bird

By Rebecca AntoninPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

The ocean turned purple when I took a dive

The sky turned black when you walked out

Of my life. So I took a deep breath and sighed

While the ravens croaked at me as I pout

I’m the black feathered bird that the Grimm Reaper loves

I’m always followed by a cloud of sadness that’s floating above

I’m always attracting the wrong even when things feel right

My happiness is only there for a second then leaves on sight

I promised I would treat myself better but with all the things that I’ve been through

You knew that I was hurting so why didn’t you take me with you?

I mean, let's face it, we all know I am a fool

For thinking my prayers would change the Grimm Reaper’s Rules

Physically,

I’m scared to let go of people that hold dear to me

Spiritually,

I’m so eager to let go and listen to the wind’s whistling

Back when I was twelve and a misfit

I used to hurt my forearms in the basement

I tried befriending my enemies; told them that I was gifted

But all I had was my imaginations

At a young age, I knew there was something wrong with my system

Just like Cameron, my soul knew my body had no purpose

In living when it lacked rhythm

Today, I’ve experienced no changes because I’m still worthless

Listening to this wonderful sound gave me inspiration for my piece.
