Little Bird - Poetry

If only I were a little bird

Who could puff their chest out proud.

If only I were a little bird

Who could fly high above the clouds.

Because if I were a little bird

With feathers bright and soft,

Then I would sail far from here

And live a life aloft.

If only I were a little bird,

I’d have no cares in the world.

If only I were a little bird

With no troubles to be unfurled.

Because if I were a little bird

With songs so sweet to hear,

Then I would sing the day away

And love this life so clear.

But I am not a little bird,

Instead a human so chained.

I am trapped inside this cage of mine,

The one that lies within this brain.
