A Bird's Baggage
March 24, 2019
I am a bird
Chained to the earth by old memories
My wings are spread and ready for flight
But the shackles tighten at my attempts to soar free
I am a bird
My home residing amongst the lonesome trees
The sky whispers for a rendezvous
But I am compainonless, no flock to accompany me
I am a bird
The morning sun and I sing to consume Existence's lack of sound
But the sun still continues on with the day
And to dawn, I am bound
I am a bird
And it is my set destiny to be free
But when burdened with this expectation
How free does that really make me?
