________________________________________
I broke the shell of my temporary home,
The shell of my egg, that had held me in so long.
I glanced at the world around me,
And oh my! It was such a beautiful sight to see!
How lucky I am, I thought within me
To be born under the clear blue sky towering above me.
But soon I realised that I was wrong
To survive, I really needed to be strong
'You're not like us, so just get lost
Go find your own place, this is not our fault'
It was then that I wished to somehow turn back time
And go back to living inside that egg, so warm and quiet.
But when I looked up at the clear blue sky
I saw a sight which made me blink my eyes twice
A group of mysterious white creatures flew up in the sky
Their heads held high, their wings spread wide
If only I was able to fly so high,
I would gladly fly away without a sigh.
I tried with all my might
To stretch my tiny wings, but they wouldn't fly
I looked up once again, but this time
There weren't those birds, it was just the blue sky.
Was it all a dream? Or was it a sign?
But right now, I knew I had to fight to stay alive.
The winter passed, the spring arrived
The ice coated lake had melted over time
I had grown, my wings looked ready for flight
But what I saw gave me a fright
Cause I was no longer the ugly duckling everyone despised
I had transformed into one of those beautiful creatures that could fly
It was then that I realised, what they said was right
I was not one of their kind, there were greater things in store for me so I
Stretched my wings and decided to give it another try
My wings felt light, I soared to the sky
To be greeted by those creatures of whom I'd dreamt all night
Yes, I'd finally found my home and I could fly
So this is the lesson I learnt over time
You may be rejected and despised in life
But value yourself and give it some time
A rainbow always appears after a cloudy sky
But always do keep this in mind
You are beautiful, and you were made to fly
