Things We Wish For

The Bird

I saw a bird earlier, and it sat with me for pretty long honestly. I wish I was that bird; always free and never in any real danger. So beautiful and graceful. So fucking free, I wish I was that bird. I wish I was that bird, living such a peaceful life. Curious to find out what things are, seeing new sights everywhere I go. Never having any real place to be. I wish I was free. I wish I was that bird.

I wish I was that bird, waking up every morning and chirping at the world as I look down on what others walk on. On top of everything, I wish I was that bird.

I wish I had a different life. A life that changes every day, rather than every moment. I wish I had nothing to worry about. Instead of thinking about places I want to be, I'd go there. I'd go to the ocean. Every one of them. I wish I wasn't tied down. I wish I had no parents. I wish I was free.

I wish I could be with you. I wish I could spend every moment of the rest of my life with you. I wish I could wake up and sing to you, as we look down at others who haven't yet gotten free. I wish I could travel the world with you, and show you how fucking beautiful life is. I wish I was free. I wish we were free. Free to conquer the world together; and free to live our lives as our own. I wish you could understand how bad I want to be free. I wish you were able to set me free. I hope and I pray that you wish the same thing.

I wish I was with you, every second of every day. I wish I could fall asleep next to you each night. I wish I could always feel the comfort and safety you provide to me. I wish you were obsessed with me. I wish you wanted me. I wish I knew what the hell was always going through your mind. I wish you could understand all of these things I wish for. But you're just a boy, and I'm just one of your interests. The sad thing is, people change. I wish I knew that I will always be your interest. But no good thing lasts forever.

So for the time being, while I'm locked in this cage, I wish with everything I have, that you try to set me free.

I wish I was free.

I wish we were free.

I wish all the things i said were heard.

I'm still locked away. And while my cage stands strong, yours is rusting. Which means soon you'll be free.

While I'm still locked away, will you wait for me?

I wish you could understand.

I love you.

But I'm not a bird. And this cage is not a cage restraining me, this is my life.

Please break me free. Fix me. Help me.

Please..
