Bird Masks
So many names,
So many different games,
Covers and Aliases
Smiles and Frowns,
Masking my Everything.
You can’t see me.
Good Son
Seen not heard.
Robin
Boy Wonder, Invincible
I must be untouchable, I can’t be Jason,
Batman needs a Robin.
Babybird
Your little brother, too little, too late,
Big brother? Can’t you see me?
Leader
Always have a plan, must always have a plan
I can’t lose anyone else.
Red Robin
My own name, still a mask over my eyes
New Batman, new Robin,
Equal? How can I be your equal if you fired me?
Detective
Can’t fall, Can’t fail, Can’t relent
I need him, he has to come back.
Who am I?
I’m just a mask,
but underneath,
I’m still just Tim.
