Two Little Birds

Trapped in my room

And sitting at my desk

Reading and studying all day.

Look out the window

And sigh loudly

There are two birds flying away.

Those two little birds

Go out into the world

And see the world beyond them.

What you can learn

What you feel

Going away from the condemned.

Those two little birds

Full of experiences

Interacting with all they see.

No judgement, no care

For what others say

Just flying in the great blue sea.

Those two little birds

Can live a full life

As they've acquired all the skills.

Out in the world

Where we should all learn

Everything that is needed to be.

Those two little birds

Lived a life so happy

Something I've never felt.

For I just always

Sit in my room

Continuing to wilt and wilt.

And I look out my window

Once again

Those two little birds 

Happy and yet

I still choose to sit at my desk.
