I am a flightless bird.
I am desperate to fly
but the wings I spread don't lift me high enough
and I can't gain wind.
The air is too still.
I try to free myself
from this cage I have built around myself.
My pain is my own fault
but I cannot be saved,
because I am a flightless bird
and you can't teach a chicken to fly.
