Have you ever seen an eagle eying its pray <br />or a pidgin wondering what he’s gonna do today <br />a stubborn wood pecker going at that tree trunk <br />or a ugly swan alone in the park pound <br /> <br />have you ever seen an owls eyes glowing <br />or watched a peacocks feathers whiles their showing <br />a parrot who can repeat someone else <br />or a humming bird singing to himself <br /> <br />be yourself, be that me <br />soaring threw the world, doing your thing <br />show us what you’ve got inside don’t try and hide <br />Like an ostrich in the sand, on land forever <br />Don’t copy him or her be your own bird <br /> <br />Light your own fire, be your own designer <br />Show us what you’re made of, be creative <br />Don’t copy him or her, be your own bird <br /> <br />Hey ho what do you know, I’m flying so low <br />Spreading those wings I found on my own shoulders <br />Open up those feathers their good, anywhere you go <br />You’ve got independence use it on the road <br />Step of that cliff and you’ll start soaring <br />No one can stop you, use your own courage <br /> <br />It’s not easy, to find your own specie <br />You don’t what to hear it, but you’ve got your own spirit <br />Don’t copy him or her, be your own bird <br />So take my word be your own bird<br /><br />Life in a Poem<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/be-your-own-bird-poetry-wings-life-in-a-poem/
