BIRD

By Sumehr –

I’m a bird 

I also have a life 

but, before putting me in a cage 

you don’t think twice 

Just imagine if I did this to you 

You would be like me, doing chu-chu

Why do you this to me 

I also want to be free 

I also want to fly, 

in the bright sky 

I also want freedom

nobody stops you when you also want to run

My whole life has been in a cage 

65 is my age 

My world is so small 

I also want to meet my little doll

Please let me go 

I am touching your toe 

Thinking outside this cage is a very difficult task

just like you before Manmeet ma’am’s class

Lastly, I’m about to die in this cage all alone 

Please let me go outside for once, and let the

world be shown

I’m a bird 

I also have a life
