Messenger bird

Like a bird, I fly up to meet you

I bring word and secrets brand new

Yet I don't remember ever saying yes

So why is it that my mind must stay a mess

These secrets and words, are they the only thing I'm worth 

It seems I've always done this, was this the reason for my birth?

Am I just destined to share your thoughts to others

And never my own?

But what about my opinions? My words? My truth?
I shouldn't have to be silent like I have been since my youth

I thought we were friends, not the bird and its owner

Yet you only need me when you're in trouble, that's the time you unlock my enclosure

But why? Why can't I be free

This life hurts me, can't you see?

So I'm done, finished, enough is enough

I will create walls between us; their exteriors so tough.

That way you'll never be able to break them,

And you will never use me as your messenger bird again.

So goodbye dear owners, or what I thought to be friends

I hope you'll understand that this is where it ends.

I'm sorry to leave but it seems it's for the best,

Don’t bother me please as it's finally my turn to rest.
