If I were a bird...

If you were a bird, what kind of bird would you be or would you be satisfied just being a bird..nature allowing you to fly. Go south when it's cold north when it hot. We are more than birds. We should be happy that we are more than birds but some-days I find myself thinking..What if I were a bird.

These lyrics popped into my head as I was writing a paper today from one of my favorite songs.

I can't stand to fly

I'm not that naive

I'm just out to find the better part of me

I'm more than a bird, I'm more than a plane

More than some pretty face beside a train

It's not easy to be me

It may sound absurd but don't be naive

Even heroes have the right to bleed

I may be disturbed but can't you concede

Even heroes have the right to dream

It's not easy to be me

I can't stand to fly

I'm not that naive

Men weren't meant to ride

With cloud between their knees

I'm only a man

with a funny red sheet

I'm only a man

looking for a dream

In my case I'm only a woman looking for a dream but lately I've been thinking have I lost that naiveness that allows us to have dreams. To think about the future as though we are birds but still keep in mind we are just men and woman looking for something. I've lost it. I don't know where to find it. I keep forgetting that I will keep making mistakes, I will have to keep fighting not to lose myself in all the world has to offer and follow a dream even if i don't know what that dream is.

I keep reminding myself about some of the simple truths, some I already know and some I just keep learning with each new day.

Simple truth for today:

Men Kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Woman treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.
