The Little Birds

Birds are able to migrate and move when they need to, yet I am stuck in the same place.

Little birds sat on electrical wires

As I was in the car, I saw them free

 Free from everything

They have the ability to leave when they please

If they don't like where they are they can just fly away

With no need for an explanation

The wind under their wing

The sky as their co-pilot

Soaring high above the sky, wherever they feel

They just set up their home where they choose

Become the rulers of the land

Eat what they find

Yet don't have to pay a dime

Free as a bird they say

Thats what I want to be some day

On my own

No one to tell me who to be

No one in control of me, except for me

It may cost more than the birds I saw once before

But at least I will be free

Free from the things that chain me to the ground

The things that have held me down

Author's Note

Do you ever feel this way? I know I do...
