Little Sparrow Poem by Christina Simmons

Black bird don't think misdeeds has gone unnoticed being watched from afar. Know for certain what I'm gonna do - this isn't to say I no longer care I choose to protect myself from anymore blows emotionally and physically; injured way down deep inside including the core; your master plan making me pay for your inadequacies and insecurities of not being good enough

Won't be seeing me anymore, get out of my mind
causing more headaches - Don't hide in my hair
out of my psyche and spirit too - out of my life!
Treating me like some martyr by lashing-out sheer grief
Expectantly willingly taking it all as if it's all I deserve;
Taking myself to higher ground allowing myself to touch the sky
see the rainbow, accept the wonderful gifts it has brought my way

Chorus

Don't bother me no more Black bird...
I've accumulated so much more since you've been out of my life
Won't let you hold me to ransom for the sake of expensive sweet Jewels who were never mines to begin with
to possess as mere property

Stay out of my way, out of my life cause investing in you
only hurts causing unbearable heartaches, unmentionable achiness
and agony slowly weakening, destroying the fibre that keeps me stable enabling to be a whole person.... pain beyond belief
Tightening and pulling silk rope you've put around my neck
Only creating severe strangulation

Given no other choice but asked for mercy -
screaming out retribution
Bowing low, begging for release - tuning antenatal -
Freedom is ever so near... black bird living you far behind -
walking out closing the door. Shutting real tight
Don't come looking for me to repeat the scene
making me a victim all over again

Black bird! It's kinda hard to take-in when my
love is thrown back in my face falling on my backside
Lying still waiting to be picked up by your dear slender hands
Even though they've been used for attacking and shoving me in a corner and at best feeling like a battle field

I look around and you're nowhere to be seen
I guess too busy eyeing Texan vixens caught in your net
making it easy for bribery until secretly offering the bait... silently Luring them to your Covenant Black bird..... black bird you're nothing but a toxic backstabber who remains afraid to confront Telling it as it is....Black bird, Oh, oh, oh black bird I'm out of here... Forever
