feathers

my feathers don't grow as long or as strong as yours many times I have been beat on my back and it left deep cut and dark bruises many nights I was cold and couldn't retain any warmth while you fought off cold with ease why couldn't I be like you? I looked up to you and followed you even when I tumble down to hills while I followed you my feathers don't grow as wide as yours I watch you soar I hoped you'd fall I know it's not right you've never spoken a word to me but you've always smiled at me and wrapped your wings around me and kept me warm you protected me from the cold rain even when you yourself got drenched I loved your wings and your smile you comforted me and I laid by your side we made a nest together and wed lie and bask in the sun then lay in the dirt and with you I never hurt ❤️❤️❤️ vaysymone
