blue birds

as night falls,

and I start to roll with it

keep myself in these four walls

until the world finally disappears

I understand the fears

they creep up on you like falling leaves

like shivers, like hungry thieves

but you mustn’t surrender

you are not a fragment

of people’s judgement

you are not a burden

to the ones who love you

please remember,

hiding away is never an answer

the blue birds never stop singing

even in cages,

even without its wings.

t.l.
