the bluebird
Description
There was a prince.
A prince of a small kingdom.
A prince who was known to have the heart of a lion.
Powerful, respected, feared, loved.
Everyone looked upon him as he shone bright.
Even amidst the darkest nights, he shone.
There was a girl.
A girl from a small land.
A girl who was known to be the blue bird.
Free, beautiful, happy, loved.
Everyone sought to be with her.
Even if it meant crushing her wings.
Foreword
“there’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I’m too tough for her,
I say, stay in there, I’m not going
to let anybody see
you.”
“there’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I’m too clever, I only let her out
at night sometimes
when everybody’s asleep.
I say, I know that you’re there,
so don’t be
sad.”
- “the bluebird” by Charles Bukowski with minor alterations -
