I wish
I were a bird
So I could spread my wings
And fly
Away from this town
Of people who hate me
Fly over fields
Over cities and farms
Up up up
Higher higher higher
Until I can touch the sun
I will fly
Like a bird
Up towards the sky
Until I get tired
And fall

I need
To get my words
Out there
Into the world
Set them free
From the cage
That I call my mind
It's crammed
Overstuffed with thoughts
The cabinets are full
Of words
And stories
Waiting to be told
Waiting to fly free

I'm tired but I can't sleep
I'm hungry but I can't eat
I'm sad but I can't frown
I'm lonely but I can't speak

alright the shows about to start
Is your costume on right?
is your makeup done?
hair curled?
perfect
Make sure to smile
Never cry
If you cry you're dead
Done
Ruined
Hold back the tears
Don't let them fall
Hold your head high
Laugh when you want to  sob
Put on a show
They'll never forget
