If I were


If I were a bird how high I’d fly, Along the horizon of the infinite blue sky, If I’d be a cat, Would spend the late nights lingering for prey, Spend the day laying carelessly for a nap, If I’d be a pig which I’d never want to be, My ankles would be dirty, And my snout might be green! If I were a bee, Flying high and free I’d want to rest, Upon the pedal of a rose, But I am only a human, In my world I am free, Allowing me whatever I wish to be!

Just a girl with a story to tell. I tell it through poetry, to give hope to those who need it
