I Wish to be a Bird

I wish to be a bird, and fly away from this place

I wish to be a bird, and fly away from life's race.

Not only do I wish to fly,

But I wish to know what it's like to not be able to cry.

A bird knows no emotion,

a bird only knows how to be free,

A bird doesn't know what it's like

to want to scream.

A bird...so at peace, always overreacting the dangers in life but yet still two dying by only one stone. Gotta love 'em!
Nice poem, you had some nice reptition and I liked how you clearly diplayed your beliefs and and foggily showed your hardships. I liked it, nice job Sophie
You seem to really like birds haha, or maybe you just like writing about them...

Birds actually creep me out, and they're really guly (most of them) but the ones in my mind are awesome, so I write about the ideal birds that don;t poop on you...

Powerful piece, especially the last two lines.

At first I read this as "I wish to be blind" and was extremely confused... I comprehend now. Nice write!

I love how I can read this and relate to it in so many different ways. It's almost as if every time you read it, you can picture a different scenario in life.. love it!
