I wish I were a bird
On the top of the world
Flickering my wings
Funding cushiony twigs
I wish I were a butterfly 
On the sweetest petals I lie
******* the nectar
As I freely chatter
I wish I were a fish
Pedalling my fins
With fresh bubbles
And immortal fervour
I wish I were that innocuous kid
Rampageosly messing up barefeet
Denying distinctions via poor and rich
Indicating candid camaraderie 
Towards his pals in poverty
Life would be pretty on the upswing...

Beautiful! Nice flow of thoughts,keep writing Surbhi ji&#128144;

"innocuous." key word for me in this well-written poem. Love the progression of all the "wish I were," that lead the story along. Also, a great job tieing/wrapping the poem up with the title and the last word with the three dots... to contemplate the thought along. A carefree ending. Really nice Surbhi.
