I never knew how to fly
I feel like jumping off anyway
My wings are overgrown, unused, 
Underwhelmed, because I'm an underachiever
I've lived my life lifeless,
Like a Building never built,
Always Under-Construction.

I never knew life would pass me by
So fast 
I never knew my life would fly 
Away from me before I ever tried
I never started, and have Already Lost?
I'm dumbstruck, Stuck
In a non-existent past
Where I used to always wait
For the better future
Never was I present, in any of my 'Present's
Never I felt pleasant, in anyone's presence

All I did was dream and dream
Daydream
Nightdream
Make-Believe; Fake Me

But don't get me wrong though,
I did try!
And when I failed,
I flailed and cried 
Cry and cry, try and cry
What does it take for one to be a freebird?
What does it take for one to fly freely?
Do I not have it in me?
Is it my parents fault? For not pushing me...
Will I ever achieve my life's worth?
Or is this all that there is?
My life
Nothing... Almost nothing!


I'm a bird in a cage not golden,
Flightless, Loveless,
Rotten.
Forever, 
Freefall 
Until I reach the bottom
