You dig a hole deeper than what gravity can hold down; put your phone down – making those comments just to ring the crowd up. You’ll never fly any higher than an ostrich; but you play their popular myth, when you bury your head in the dirt – to cover up your face, with false scales of makeup making up your worth. Maybe as I missed the translation of when someone says, “bed” to the word bird – to believe you rest in the nest of your fears; never to leave that habitat, to soar above the world. Seems a habit not to face your fears – _sitting on your wings!_

Sitting wings
You dig a hole deeper than what gravity can hold down; put your phone down – making those comments just to ring the crowd up. You’ll never fly any higher than an ostrich; but you play their popular myth, when you bury your head in the dirt – to cover up your face, with false scales of makeup making up your worth. Maybe as I missed the translation of when someone says, “bed” to the word bird – to believe you rest in the nest of your fears; never to leave that habitat, to soar above the world. Seems a habit not to face your fears – _sitting on your wings!_
