I tried to fly today
the sound of his voice, it made me think...
maybe this time, I'd grow wings.
metaphorically of course.
Well it didn't work
I'm not a bird
or even Superman, for Christ's sake.
Why did you tell me that one day I would
fly away, that I would be great,
when you knew it wasn't true.
I mean, look at you...
I bet you never even tried (to fly)
and why would you?
You are so comfortable here
complacent, sitting on the ground.
Walking and running is as fast as you'll ever go.
And all I want is to be untethered and free
as a bird.
