intro poem:
today i laid outside today
and i watched the sky as it turned to grey
no longer blue and lit by the sun
i watched my heart as it floated away
like a helium inflated balloon
gliding swiftly between the trees
my attention turns to the blue bird
that’s landed in the tall grass next to me
it pleaded be smart go after your heart
but i declined for it no longer belonged me
it resides with a man in a suburban tower
and i doubt he’d be inclined to set it free
he’s of sharp mеntal capability
mind unbroken. though his body is cracked
no good deed goes unpunishеd blue bird
come to my window. watch us interact
verse 1:
an unspoken hierarchy
that begins with him and ends with me
he’s followed by the ones in his family tree
and the churchfolk then the workfolk. the temerity
baby can you do this? baby can you do that?
um let’s not change my name to “baby can you”
you forgot to do this. i asked you to do that
ask me every godd-mn thing except baby how are you?

it’s all up to me
except decision making
just do the work with no input
be grateful for the bread and roof
it’s always my fault
as long as everything goes wrong
he takes the credit for building this beautiful life
built on my back and with my hands

chorus:
10-fooooooooooo oooooooooo
ouuuuuuuuuuuuu oooouuuuuuuuuuoouuuuurrr
10-fooooooooooo oooooooooo
ouuuuuuuuuuuuu oooouuuuuuuuuuoouuuuurrr
ten four
i’m not just meant to stand by you
you want me to hold you up too
i’m not just meant to stand by you
you need me to hold you up
10-fooooooooooo oooooooooo
ouuuuuuuuuuuuu oooouuuuuuuuuuoouuuuurrr
poem continued:
less than an assistant. the equivalent of cattle or a mule
i do wish that i too could take flight
if the chains that bind me were literal. my circulation would be minimal
but as they’re ficticious i’ll finish the last of the dishes
and disappear quietly into the night

verse 2:
i too have dreams goals i would like to achieve
to waste a ta.lent is to waste a blessing
two heads are better. allow me to think
like what does he think?
to have and to hold
frostbite. that man is so cold
i blame his mama. she got him too spoiled
always asks his sister. like she knows it all

a drama on replay
a hypocritical display
look at the way his treats his daughter
he’d k!ll any man whom was cruel to her
i wish he valued me that way!
i wish he wanted me to fly too!
we stood at the altar to face
the things i wish that i knew
chorus:
10-fooooooooooo oooooooooo
ouuuuuuuuuuuuu oooouuuuuuuuuuoouuuuurrr
10-fooooooooooo oooooooooo
ouuuuuuuuuuuuu oooouuuuuuuuuuoouuuuurrr
ten four
i’m not just meant to stand by you
you want me to hold you up too
i’m not just meant to stand by you
you need me to hold you up
10-fooooooooooo oooooooooo
ouuuuuuuuuuuuu oooouuuuuuuuuuoouuuuurrr

poem continued:
can i come with you blue bird?
can i come with you blue bird?
i do wish that i too could take flight
can i go with you blue bird?
can i go with you blue bird?
you can leave me on a cloud up in the sky
