How dumb
We hurt eachother
We hurt ourselves
Just so we can feel something
We walk everyday
To the same place
Sorrounded by other beings
at work, at school
Where we’re confined to a task
And are shaped to fit in
Born with wings
Cut off by society
Who told you they were ugly
Weird, strange
Or not appropriate
Too tired to fly away
Or resist them
How dumb
We feel nothing
Days turn to weeks
And weeks to years
And we keep alive
So madly in love
With the idea of living
Ignoring how pointless
How meaningless
Our next breath is
Angels and demons laugh at us
Poor flightless birds
Poisoned by their words
Feathers made heavy
By all the pain
Misunderstanding
And comments
That even though meaningless
Seem to take a frightening form
Behind our stressed out eyes
I guess we’ll never fly away
We’re held back by responsability
Idiotically blinded by media
Celebrities
And others,
Repeating
“I am free”
“I am free”
“I am free”
