I watched the robin nest
As I entered the den
Of the lions
I wish them well
They wish to take my life
Hoping the current of good swells
As vilifying waves crash over me
I gave gifts
And was gifted punishment
We all think we are good
We all do our best
With a fucked up world
I digress
Anger and rage
Begot the worst of bedfellows
Doing my best
To help a tragic world
To my last grasp
Trying to make things better
When the void calls
I hope it takes me completely
I was not built to last
In this world
I would never ask
For the mercy
We could never deserve
Take flight my little birds
As terrified as you are
As you should
I gave you hearth
Your fear just punishes me
