Fly I Must

Yes, I am alone; and yes I am free to be anything I want,

I am the only child and often a lonely one too

Many think I am pampered and selfish but hey;

Isn’t everyone that?!

I have my duties and commitments

Just like you…yet I am judged at your convenience

I was a free bird who has just become caged and has forgotten to fly

Amidst myriad chores and responsibilities.

But fly I will, someday because the power is within me…
