Sparrow

I am a fragile young sparrow
unable to fly away from
my wooden straw nest.

A small beaked bird
covered in red and blue spots
and wings full of
permanent scars

I wish I could flee
to have an adventure
and the liberty
of my own.
But I worry of my future
for I fear a force is never
going to let me go

I may be black and white
whose voice may not be heard
from afar
but I will never stop singing until
I reach to the bright blue sky.
