Burdened Baby Bird

Many people are dying

From sickness, killings, or just from natural causes

For some they are dying from slow agonizing deaths

Others live with incurable diseases at this time

Maybe death is the only way to be cured

We live under the shelter of our parents from a certain period of time

Then like a baby bird we go off and fly

Fly and continue to grow into who we truly are, yet some of us don’t make it this far

We have a burden that holds us down

Whether it be from family or friends or just another hopeless situation that never seems to come to an end

Death seems to be the only cure

As that young bird we could careless because mother was constantly there protecting us from her worst fears

But now that we have learned how to fly our burdens seem to take hold of how we glide in the sky

Some of us can’t take the pressure or burden of knowing or caring or feeling the pain and suffering anymore

So we let death take us from the air

We no longer soar amongst the clouds

We no longer teach our offspring how to survive

But to surrender to deaths shot gun as it takes shot after shot

Finally taking us out of the sky

Because we let the burdens weigh us too close to the ground
