Be Free
September 24, 2018
I sit and I wonder
How can the the bird fly
But alas
The fly cannot bird
What restricts that fly to not be able to bird
Is it being trapped in his short lifetime
Or for the hours it takes him to put in contacts
Is it his papery wings
With a beautiful pattern
That are useless in the wind
But the poor bird
Is trapped in her nest
Pushed out of her home at a young age
Without a beautiful tail or a beautiful voice
No mate will she find
She must bow to societal norms
So I sit and I wonder
Maybe just maybe
Is a bird really as free
As we all think she is
