thoughts i had to quickly scribble dowm

~

i'm not afraid of birds
i'm not afraid of birds
i just don't like the way they look at me
i just don't like the way they talk to me
-
staring at the sky, evening twilight
it's so quiet, until the eyes come out 
and then the noise rains down, every city every town
i've ever lived in has been cursed by the sound

of a hundred thousand beaks screaming out loud in frustration
taking from the streets, from the trees, the relaxation
claws and wings, moving in sync, from the abyss, the sky was pink
now it's cloudy and black, lost to the murder, lost to the CACK
trying to get back to my house, but i'm lost in the dark
trying to brighten the world up with my little spark
i'm not afraid of birds but i wish i could feel safe in my local park
-
i'm not afraid of birds
i'm not afraid of birds
i just don't like the way they look at me
i just don't like the way they talk to me
-
staring down the road, where to wander, where to go
wondering why i feel like i never really made a home
probably how it all goes down, every city every town
i've ever lived in has been cursed by the sound

of a hundred thousand crows in suits screaming at me to speak their truth
and i don't believe in absolutes but today was more than proof
claws and wings, pick and pull at weaker things, until they break through
making everything black and blue, lost to the flitter, lost to the CACK
of a thousand angry voices tweeting back
i'm not afraid of birds but i want to go one day without an attack
-
i'm not afraid of birds
i'm not afraid of birds
i just don't like the way they look at me
i just don't like the way they talk to me
