Bird

Is life so cruel
that such a small but beautiful bird should die,
noticed only by one person?
A bird should not die such an undignified death,
spiraling into a bucket of water
after crashing into a window.
Birds should be as graceful in death as they are in life.
A beautiful bird should not have died in the palm
of a lonely girl's hand.
Expecially after she thought she had rescued him
from a watery grave.

High School again. Pretty self-explanatory. I was depressed as hell and then this damn bird flies straight into our living room window. I think I cried for about an hour, despairing over the fact that this poor bird had died in my hands and oh, woe is me, I am so miserable and alone...you know, the crap you despair about as a teenager. Boy, I don't miss the constant mood swings.
