Journey

Rather Be Free

I'm the ugly duckling,

Rejected, unwanted,

Been made fun, and spit on.

I'm the bird everyone bothers to see,

Shooed away, kicked out,

Been made a taboo, and hit on.

One day, I saw another bird swimming,

Worshiped and being treated

Like a goddess coming down the green carpet.

Its wings are very appealing to me,

And its beauty is no doubt,

Enchanting everyone in the garden.

But when it comes to hunting,

The swan will always be targeted

By opportunistic poachers.

However, this never happen to me,

Just because of my hideous snout

That camouflages me in dangers.

I love to be gorgeous,

But I rather be ugly and free

Than be beautiful and hunted down.
