There was a young bird in 2022.
Carefree and beautiful, its wings were blue.
It was time to learn to fly,
Mom and Dad knew its was the right time to try.
The damage of others' failure and their successes,
had already scared her from exploring her path further.
But with full might, she began her practice anew,
soon after, she lost her way and was deprived of light too.
She flapped her wings as hard as she could,
but with no sense of direction, she was lost in the woods.
Then happened what she feared the most.
She failed terribly, her head filled with remorse.
Nobody cared how hard she tried,
everybody remembered how loud she cried.
Mom and Dad told her its not the end.
Took their baby home and told her to rest.
With great spirit and wounded experience,
she was ready to try,
for the second time.
She rose high in the sky.
She felt the wind rushing through her wings as she flew high.
Then, suddenly, the fear of failing came from the first time,
cause her to loose control and she plummeted deep down.
The other birds humiliated her with a "Shame! Shame!" sound.
Little bird failed twice.
Then came the fox and the mice,
told her, your hardwork is nice.
But with crowded mind and fear of future,
told her you're headed for defeat so you already lost it dear.
She threw the blindfold of fear,
and everything was again beautiful and clear.
This time, she soared through the clouds,
with no fear in mind, just feeling alive.
Other birds asked " How can she rise who was once timid and shy?"
To this, she replied, " I am a bird, I was meant to fly."
