ACROPHOBIA

Green bird

I am a flightless bird

So scared to see the world

And from the things I heard

It's not that bad.

I am afraid to fly

I look below and cry

Taking a deep breath and sigh

Close my eyes and try.

I feel all numb inside

One more deep breath in

This is what it feels to die

To feel this way is a sin.

I am a flightless bird

So scared to see the world

And from the things I heard

It's not that bad.
