Birdie

My name is Birdie

But I barely know how to fly

I am lost in a place

I don’t know how to describe

It’s like I live between two worlds

There’s nothing in the middle for me

I keep trying to side with one

But it’s so hard to just try and be

Nobody sees me the way that I want them to

My inner perception changes

And I can’t seem to break through

I can’t seem to exist without

Another validating who I am

My face is jumbled

Reflections crumble

Until I feel a damn sham

My name is birdie

And I’m trying to learn how to fly

I am here in a place

I don’t know how to describe

I’ve been so many things

And too little of others

I live between planes

Exist between mother and father

But there’s cole

She’s my rock

Speaking elemeno tones

Without a clock

I felt free with her

Like I could be with her

But our time was cut so short

Now I wanna be with her

Yeah, I wanna go see her

I’ve got eyes on me though it’d be the last resort

My name is birdie

I need to know myself before I fly

I live in a place

Other’s wouldn’t be able to describe

But I know I’m not alone

I know there’s more than one place to call home

Whether it’s people

Or a place it’s all equal to me*

When you don’t have a home

Or a place to call your own

When you don’t have a home

Or a place to call your own

My name is birdie

I’m barely learning to fly

I live in a place

Some other’s might be able to describe

I know I’m not alone

I know there’s more than one place to call home

Whether it’s people

Or a place it’s all equal

To me
