The BlackBird

There was once a black bird. He was a handsome bird. Strong and brave. Life for the Blackbird was lacking. Something missing. One day he encountered a red bird. A lovely bird as well. The Redbird would sing so well. It danced around looking for food and mating in ways the Blackbird could only dream about. The Blackbird made study of the Redbird. He learnt their songs. He practiced thier ways, and learned their stories. The Blackbird dressed himself up as a Redbird and went out into the world as a Redbird. All the birds knew him to be a redbird. Presenting himself in that way the blackbird became a redbird in all aspects of his life and being. But in time in little ways his deception lead to trouble. The blackbird became quick to anger. He had constructed lies about his heritage and his life. Those lies which set him free to become the Redbird began to ensnare him and tangle his wings. His life as a redbird became hard. What was once easy and set him free has begun to imprison the blackbird. His true nature would show through, and not even his true nature but the worst parts of himself it seemed. Everyone could now see through his lies and his deception. Exposed he went away in shame.
Strange thing is that had the blackbird learned the ways and the songs and the being of the redbird and presented himself as a blackbird the redbirds would have welcomed him just as well.
