Journey of a hatchling

She wanted to spread her wings and soar

But too many responsibilities she bore 

The little birdie was confused

 If taking a flight would get her bruised 

She was too scared With other birds she compared.

 Should she fly away to explore 

Or stay home and snore

None of them were right or wrong

Little birdie didn't want to just move along.

Wanting to conquer the world

She unfurled her wings and left 

Without thinking of the effects

 Came back hurt and with regrets.

She wondered where she went wrong 

Why couldn't she be strong

What little detail did she miss

That led to this.

Everyone close to her was upset

Her dreams, she wanted to forget

 To keep everyone pleased

She had to remain in a cage seized.

Practice patience and time was all she needed 

Finally, this theory she conceded 

Everyone's expectation she exceeded

 And that's how she succeeded.

She grew up to be a beautiful bird 

Her past now blurred 

She was ready to conquer the sky

 Everything, she could try

 She opened her magnificent wings 

Ascending while the flowers beneath her sing.

“No bird soars too high if it soars with its own wings.”- William Blake
