Birds


Here's another shitty poem,

about wanting to be a bird,

about wanting to be free

and the longing to relieve

of all the fucking stress

that we all have to deal with. 

I want to fly the fuck away,

from this writers block

from this responsibility 

from this boy

from this house

from this state

from this fucking rock  between my lungs,

but I'm not a fucking bird.

So, all I can do 

is be caged 

and write more shitty poems 

about wanting to be

a stupid bird
