Bird

by Allison   Dec 24, 2005


I prayed to God
And made a wish
I hoped it would come true
I wished to be a bird

If I were a bird
I could escape my anger and sorrow
My hopes and my pains

If I were a bird
I could leave this life far behind me
Never look back and be happy

If I were a bird
My fears couldn't catch me
I would be free

I hoped god would grant my wish
I hoped that he would help me
When I asked him, he never answered
But I knew that he heard me

One day as I was walking past a bridge
I found my self looking over it
At the water far below

I got up on the railing
And made my wish again
While spreading my arms out wide

I hoped god would answer
I hoped he would grant my wish
And then I jumped

For I moment I was flying
I thought that it had worked
But then I was going down

The water was rushing closer
Fear grabbed my chest
And a tear rolled down my cheek

As I hit the water I prayed
Then there was darkness
And I was in front of God

Why didn't you help me? I screamed
He turned away and whispered
I can't do everything

I hope that you liked this and sorry if it offends anyone.

    Other great poem. Although the flow was hard to follow in the first few stanzas I liked it. Other thing in the 5th stanza you refer to God as a women but than you go back to referring God as a man. Its just some I caught while reading it. I loved the poem though, like I said before in the other comments your an a amzing writier.
