Description

 Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo

In April, I open my bill
In May, I sing night and day
In June, I change my tune
In July, how far I fly
In August, away

Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo. 

Dear sister, why do you lock yourself away.  Why do you shut everyone out.  One day will you shut me out too?  Why do you push everyone away?  How can you be so brave, yet so afraid?  I am worried about you, dear sister.  I will not be here forever, and you will be alone.  Who will hear you then?  What will you do then?  When no one can hear you, dear sister.  When your voice is gone. 

Cuckoo.

sorry for my lame writing 
Inspired by this song ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5ZwTY… ) from Moonrise Kingdom
Second part of :iconmissthunderkin:'s contest

Newt sings the cuckoo song to comfort Taegan when she is upset.  
Taegan acts cold and tough, but only because she is utterly terrified, terrified all the time.  She is afraid of losing people, so she just pushes them away before they can leave.  She clings to Newt, because she is terrified of losing her brother and the only person who understands her.  She acts like a tough cookie, but she really is just a scared little girl too afraid to make friends.  
Newt is painfully aware of this and is tries his best to push her into meeting people.  Sometimes he can be harsh, but it is so hard to get through to her.  He knows he will not be around forever, and he wants to make sure his sister is not alone when he is gone.  He fears that he might not be able to get her to open up to others.
