BLACK DOVE
Indecision is a decision,
Indecision is a decision that brings about so many situations of probability,
Indecision is a decision not to decide on what you want,
Indecision is a state of not knowing what's best for your living,
Indecision is your permission to let others decide for you,
How is it that suddenly everyone wants to decide for her,
How is it that suddenly they know what's best for her when they barely even know her,
How is it that she believes in their lies a thousand times,
How is it that she knows the truth yet says nothing,
Why can't she avoid those who have stabbed her,
Why can't she push these fake people away,
Why is she so scared of losing her supposed friends,
Why is she so scared of being alone,
Why does she never recognize those who really care,
Why can't she fight back?
Why is she a coward?
Why isn't she saying anything?
Why isn't she doing anything?
Why is she so silent when it's time for her to speak up?
All these questions known, but answers yet unknown,
She's a Black Dove amongst white hawks,
They pretend to be pure yet shed innocent blood,
They haunt for chicks and clean up their stains in pretence,
Now they condemn her because her feathers are black,
She's a Dove with a big black scar at her back,
A scar that wouldn't heal,
She's been stabbed too many times,
And now she's being trapped in a cage,
She needs to be saved before she gets eaten,
Now they've hurt her left wing,
Who will fly her to her home,
She's weak and she's dying slowly,
She's drowning in fear,
Every night she begs for mercy,
And in the day she cries out for help,
She sees her very own kind fly past her,
She's black they say, as they laugh and mock at her,
Her fear of being black, her fear of being different,
Is it a curse? Or her greatest strength,
How long can she go,
Will she survive another day?
Will she ever realize her biggest weakness is her Greatest strength...

I'll be posting a highlight on the BLACK BIRD soon but before that, I'd love to know your opinions. What do you think of her? What do you think her flaws are? Do you think she deserved to be treated differently because she has black feathers? You can also place a focus on whatever area you in like.
