Kylie Bean "The Feather Boy" A small, white feather flutters Forgotten in the corner Kept from flying

away Only by the dirt that entraps it That holds it down where it is A small, pale boy fidgets Forgotten in the corner Kept from flying away Only by the life that entraps him That holds him down in reality This small white feather Grows darker from the dirt Staining it every second Until it is no longer recognizable This small, pale boy's mind Grows darker from the pain Staining it every second Until he is no longer recognizable A small, brown-ish feather lies there Fluttering frantically But no one notices A small, pale boy stands there Asking for help But no one notices The small, brown feather Gets caught in a gust of wind The small, pale boy Gets caught in a burst of pain The small brown feather flies away The small, pale boy flies away
