You were meant to be a bird free

To the prescribed norms you did not agree

You aimed to fly higher than your flock

You weren’t like them, is what they mocked

You were different I always knew

To hide you from them I had to find ways new

A castle I built with the brightest colors

I cooked delicacies of varied flavors

I gave you the costliest toys to play

To make you forget the blue skies I tried all ways

You drifted apart in to a world unknown

You quest to conquer the skies I had always known

The golden cage I built, strangled your flight

To confine you I hadn’t any right

I let open the castle doors

Through the skies you are now free to soar

I no longer dread what they think

To protect you I don’t need to clip your wings

For God has made us all unique

To survive and thrive, the skies will teach you the technique

You were meant to be a bird free

To the prescribed norms you need not agree
