A Little Birdy Told Me

A little birdy told me,

You made wings from my falls,

You made claws from my strength,

You made feathers from my beauty,

You made eyes from my wisdom,

A little birdy told me,

You’re a glutton for everything but food,

You binge on what’s little left,

I hope you’re belly is full,

I hope you’re doing well,

I hope your lies are finished,

But in the end,

I know the truth,

You’ll never be done,

You’ll never be satisfied,

A little birdy told me,

You used to be a songbird,

Now you’re a raven,

Your beak brimming to the top with venom,

I wonder how much you’ve gained,

Stealing from others,

I hope one day your feathers decay,

I hope one day your outside matches your inside,

I hope your ambitions rot,

I hope your confidence flees,

I hope your you stuff yourself too full to move,

Then again,

That’s not up to me,

Because that’s where we differ,

I’d never do what you did,

A little birdy told me,

You tried to kill it once,

I wonder how it feels,

Now that people know your lies,

I wonder if it makes you angry,

I wonder if it makes you shameful,

I wonder if it makes you afraid,

I wonder if you feel at all,

A little birdy told me,

Your lies were complete,

Goodbye my little raven,

May we never meet again,
