Glass Bird

Friend, don’t be fooled.

This pretty face is not real.

It’s all just stained glass.

Don’t be fooled by the strong smile.

It’s already shattering

As your words crash against it.

Don’t be fooled by the clear crystal

Shards falling away

As the glass girl shatters.

But friend, don’t be fooled.

Those shards reflect the feathers

Of birds flying by.

Each feather reflection melting back together

Slowly turning into wings.

Friend, don’t be fooled.

The glass you shattered

Has given me wings

To fly.
