Flying High

Flying High

I wish I were a bird
Just so I could fly
High up in the sky
And get away from things that bring me hurt.
The way that others talk to me
And watch my every move.
And though I do not like this
I just need to know
That I am the example
And they can learn from me.
But I can also learn from them
If I can just be strong.
Learning how to lead the crowd,
I will go where I want and need to go.
But, If I were a bird,
Or I could learn to fly
I'd fly high up in the sky
Until others learned how to.
Then I'd remember how to love

And how to be a friend.
