Someday, gentle bird, We will fly away And escape this place That torments us so– This unsure space in both our minds That gnaws at our every breath, That ruins the happiest of moments. Someday, gentle bird, We will fly south To a place where the sun shines Only half as brightly as you do And be free from these shackles, Be away from all the attacks, All the helpless moments. Someday, gentle bird, We will be alright. We will be together, Ensconced in each other’s arms– We will look to one another, Knowing it is over, Knowing we have conquered all.
