Blackbird
Addie Z ( 8th Grade )
Emotion filled her thoughts Hope and happiness shattered at her brown feet A tear rolls down her cheek Her red eyes throbbing at the memories Everything gone She wanted to leave Fly away like a blackbird with no return Trying to avoid the shards She runs Never turning back Trying to escape to a place of sun Wind blows her thick , black hair Her legs soon become weak She falls , but up she flys Into the clouds Like a lonely blackbird Navigating the night sky
