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,
