Little Blue Bird

Breaking free from a Narc Parent/Partner

Hey little bluebird

Let me tell you a story.

Please shush it's mine,

Your voice is too soft

Your voice is too harsh

Hey little bluebird

Let me tell you about my day.

But what do you think,

No, wait I don't want to know.

Hey little bluebird

What is the matter?

I told all my friends

Just how beautifully you sing,

So why do you scream?

What do you mean?

Hey little bluebird

I cleaned your cage

I changed your water

And gave you food.

I brought you into my world,

Why can't I hold you?

Why don't you love me?

Hello Jailer

I want to be free

I want to find my own food

Find my own water

Why do you keep me locked away?

Hello jailer

I sing a song to pass the time

It is not for you

Or your friends

Unless, of course

It is the fee to be set free

Then I will sing you every song I know

Hello Jailer

You may not touch me

For your hand's smell of death

And the words you speak

Deafening poison

Infecting me every chance you get

Hello Jailer,

I am unhappy

I scream for help

Whenever I find the strength

You say you don't understand

And I no longer blame you

For as long as you have me trapped

I need your food

I need your water

I need your misguided care

I need you but I do not love you.

Hey little bluebird

You will never leave me,

Right?

Right.
