I wish I was a bird <br />Free to fly, free to roam <br />Without a care in the world <br />Not caring where I am going <br />Happy; just flying <br />Higher and higher, soaring the skies <br /> <br />I wish I was a bird <br />The open space <br />Just to fly and be me <br />To be happy soaring the skies <br /> <br />Only I am not a bird <br />Reality cuts like a knife <br />Everything hurts <br />I am so sad<br /><br />Brie Carter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-wish-i-were-a-bird-2/
