I Just Want To Fly
By Migdalia
I just want to fly far away,
Where things are bright,
Where flowers grow,
And the wind softly blows.
I do not know if I am happy or if I am sad,
The only thing I know is that I want to fly.
Fly how? I am in a cage,
I don’t know how to fly.
How can I do it?
There is no way.
Or else there is.
Can I leave the cage, without getting my body out of it?
Maybe it could be possible if I try.
I can use my mind.
Dream with my eyes open.
Dream with my eyes closed.
Yes, it is possible…
Oh no! I am not satisfied.
It is not the same.
I need to leave the cage!
But then what could happen to me?
I am afraid, I have never been outside alone
What will I do if I fall?
I do not even know if I have wings.
I can’t see them, I can’t feel them.
I can’t see my back.
Can someone tell me if I have wings on my back?
