They say they will clip our wings if we try to
fly too high
What do they know of flying?
The wind gushing n brushing over everything big
and small
The hair flying and the dreams flying higher
They say they will clip our dreams if we dream a
lot
What do they know of dreaming?
The places it takes and the people it befriends
The story it weaves and the truth it unveils
They say they will clip our voice if they hear
too much
What do they know of a voice?
The storm that it causes, new path that it paves
Hope that it nourishes and life that it brings
They say they will clip our life if we live the
life we want to
What do they know of living?
They, who have never truly learnt to spread their
wings and fly with the wind
They, who have never dreamt with open eyes
They, who have yet not heard their own voice
What will they teach us about life?
They, who in a bid to clip others
Have forever clipped their own souls
