I once saw a bird

That bird gave me strength

'Cause that bird has seen horrors

I had never dreamt.

That bird had one leg

It filled me with dread.

But then I had hope instead.

Because I realized

That bird was an omen.

It became my guise.

That bird kept on fighting

While I was somewhere crying.

But any stress I've had

Could never be as bad

As losing a leg.

It's all in my head.

Something so trivial.

The bird's problems are real.

My life could never compare

To the bird's horrendous affairs.

And I could never compete.

That bird is stronger than me.

But I can stand and try

To be stronger in my eyes.

Not strong like the bird, you see

But the strongest I can be.
