On The Outside Looking In On a trip With my class Just listening quietly Sit on the outside And watch them interact Observing their behaviors So different from one another No one really notices how quiet I really am As I watch our teachers Talk and teach the others A girl and her mom Talk over dinner Just like they would if they were home It seems so simple I've never felt that I watch my friend She is too busy to notice me now I put my music on now and melt Once again I begin to watch Half listening, half conscience I tip the waiter I finish my food I'm ready to go back to the hotel Maybe relax in the spa But no one

Mother Bird Mother bird, mother bird You have fallen out of your nest Down you fall into oblivion Too much self medication Not enough nurturing Now your babies are being taken The Hawks have stepped in Your kids are now with another Not only a different family but Old friends and a new species Babies half grown, only knowing one way of life We were little Red Robins Forced to change, everything Thinking, friends, our whole way of life These Robins have now become Swallows Mother bird, mother bird Where were you when we needed you the most; Behind the barn with the cat?

My heart says yes, but my actions say no Accountability for my actions will always catch me in the end What do I do; Something painful because its new? Or something that could turn into pain once again? Why do I let myself fall for the same traps Why can't I work it out My head is spinning, I don't know what to think I don't know who to look to for advice My family is all gone No one is
