The Bird I Am

I don't understand the way I work
Why are my wings too small to soar away?
Why am I just a little creature?
Why do even the leaves fly further?
But most of all
Why am I my only voice?
Why can't I just do something right?
Why did I choose my death?
What I most don't understand is
Why couldn't I have lived?
Why couldn't someone help me?
Why did this happen?
