'All I want to do is change the world!'
I say with my emotions curled.
Want to sing, want to dance,
Want to find love, be burried under romance.
I shoot these words at them, as they stop,
Stop me from reaching the very top.
'Stick to your roots,' they say, feeling all smart,
Little do they know, their words hit like a dart.
"I've got my wings out and they'd like to be spread,"
I tell them, watching as their face turns red.
"Oh! This bloody society. It's going to kill me,"
I can't wait any longer to set them free.
I live my life the way I want,
My words should scare them, they should haunt.
It's all worth it as it's for the best,
No longer a hatchling, I've left the nest.
That's the difference between roots and wings,
I could live like a pauper but I chose to be my own king.
