Favorite Quote:
“You will make a lousy anybody else, but you are the best you in existence. You are the only one who can use your ability. It is an awesome responsibility.”


Your feathers made of white satin,
Your little eyes the color of crisp peppermint,
Your trill the sound of sweet harmony.
I wanted you to myself,
For my entertainment,
So I locked you in that small steel cage,
Petting you with joy in my eyes,
Not realizing the pain I'm causing your small flittering heart to endure,
I want to pet you for a million years,
Hold you and smile at you,
But I see the pain showing in your eyes,
The tears you shed when I'm not there,
So I'll open that steel door,
And watch your brilliance fly.
