A blackbird sits on top of a tree.
She watches but never talks.
Wise and smart
But none finds her beauty
She squawks
But none minds
They are too obsessed
Obsessed over love and gossip and anything scandalous
But the blackbird knows better.
She knows that no one will tell her the time of day
Because she is a bird
And birds don’t think,
They are born
They fly
They grow up
They chirp
Nothing else
She is a bird
But one of free nature
She refuses to be confined
Because in reality
She is no blackbird
She is not like everyone else
Because she does not see in black and white
She doesn’t see a face on a human
But every person that walks by is a shape and a color.
Green
Yellow
Red
Blue
Pink
Orange
Not a person
But a color
Not a figure
But a shape
Not a selfish, condescending, and destroyer of life
But a shape with morales
Or lack thereof.
She knows no one will tell her the time of day
But that is because she doesn’t do the same
She knows her boundaries
And she sticks to them
Once she is done looking down on the colorful shapes
She leaves, she has no longer has business there.
