This was one of my poems - I decided to sing it. Sorry about the shitty quality of the recording.

Pretty Bird
the cool breeze
flutters my feathers
the whole world
spins under my feet
I'll fly higher
than the heavens
and watch this realm
change around me
they called me a pretty bird
they called me a pretty bird
I composed
a sweet lullaby for you
knowing that it
might never be heard
I sang louder
than the howling wind
despite knowing that silence
might be preferred
they called me a pretty bird
they called me a pretty bird
from up on my perch
I've witnessed atrocities
cried tears that fell like rain
on the people below
from here in my nest
I saw hopelessness and fear
and had only my song
to put on for the show
they called me a pretty bird
they called me a pretty bird
exit stage left
stripped of my wings
I gave it my best
like how the caged bird sings
I tasted the sky
and felt my feathers give in
I know I'm a pretty bird
I know I'm a pretty bird

i listened to this like 120 times hahaha and i have good excuses!!!
1) ur voice DEMOLISHED the word amazing. INCINERATED american idol
2) as i was listening i pulled out my guitar and started to play along so whenever i can i will send u a recording of what my chords would b...that is if u don't already have any.
i loved the lyrics i love ur voice and i love how it all came together
if u choose my chords then great. a little better timing so guitar can fit would make this song atleast 1% better or less.
Wow, That os really all I can say because you have the most amazing voice that I have ever heard. You need to try your hand on American Idol. Once again. WOW
"I sang louder than the howling wind despite knowing that silence might be preferred" and "I gave it my best like how the caged bird sings I tasted the sky and felt my feathers give in" are two lines that I absolutly adore. And good singing voice as well
this is incredible....you have a very good voice.....i was entranced from the first word sung....thanks for sharing this amazing song....-knight
