The Bird

By Rebecca Sylvia
5-30-2007
Bricks lay on each other, I can hardly breathe.
 Being pulled in all directions, I fear of what’s to be. 
In the middle of the ocean, Unable to see the shore.
I cannot swim for long. Will I sink or will I soar?
Like a bird that flies with the wind in his wings.
To see the whole world, I long to be free. 
But the wind is a breeze and my wings are not strong. 
I am still in the ocean, for a bird this feels wrong.  
I should of been living, more than just life.
 I have joy in abundance, but I feel this strife.
I want to be ready, but where do I go? 
I'm running into walls, the lights are so low. 
Circling 'round in the dark, I see a faint hew. 
With a small sense of hope, I'm thankful it's You. 
The walls still surround me, the ocean pours in. 
 It still feels like I'm drowning, but I know that you'll win.
