Mockingbird
  They call her Mockingbird
  The girl who can fly
  So far out of sight
  So far out of mind
  They call her crazy,
  They say she’s gone mad,
  They don’t know she’s completely sane,
  Only a little bit sad
  Mockingbird seeks refuge
  Within satin or silk
  Mockingbird begins to fall apart
  As a flower that seems to wilt
  She lives in isolation,
  Alone and in the dark
  To her, it seems worthless
  To even try to draw a spark.
  Mockingbird is broken - like sheet shattered ice
  Her heart longs for love
  But it comes at a price
  Mockingbird finds herself brave
  Removes the satin, reveals her face
  Engulfed by his warmth,
  She knows that she’s safe
  It could have been coincidence
  Or maybe just fate
  Was it true love?
  Or was it just fake?
  He called her beautiful,
  She knew he couldn’t be right.
  If she is the dark, then he is the light.
  Of course she can’t be the day
  Unless there is a night.
  But forever, he is her shield
  If swords should they fight.
  Mockingbird was free
  And her puzzle was pieced
  Slowly, but surely,
  She became as strong as she once was weak.
  Mockingbird’s puzzle,
  Each part of her is a piece.
  Only one missing
  Without him, she is incomplete.

This poem is about my best friend. He's always been there for me, and he's never left my side, even through the things that were extremely difficult. He is now my boyfriend, and I am so proud of it.
