BLUE BIRD

I know you blue bird

I see you when you don't see yourself

I have learned to read your mind

To tell your story 

To express your pain

I reach beyond your smile

I see them blue bird, I see them

They fancy your feathers

And sing your praises

You are perfect to them

They love how you sing into the night

How you fly gracefully into the sky

I know you blue bird

How you bury the blackbird within

How you stop the tear and hide the scars

How your ululations is drowned in their jubilations

You are caged in glory

Ensnared in false decorum

But you will be free blue bird

You will be free to wash off your blue paint

And be the blackbird that you truly are

Together we shall fly to the mountains 

And come back to hunt the chicks

No more shall you act the blue bird

Onyendi Chibueze I.
