นกน้อย
tiny bird
I envy the little bird. It carries so much freedom in its wings. When it wants to go somewhere, it simply flies into the wide, endless world, seeing things I can only imagine.
But me— I feel like I’m locked inside a cage. It looks like I have freedom… but I don’t. It looks like I can choose what I want… but I can’t.
If I had wings, I would fly far away. Maybe that dream is only a thought, but if it were real, how wonderful it would be. Still, even with wings, I’m not sure I could escape.
I don’t know why… I just feel this way.
“Is there anyone who truly understands me? Sometimes even I don’t understand myself.”

When I read this poem in my 40s, I thought, “Why was I so silly?” When I read it again in my 50s, I thought, “Ummm… I actually adore that girl.” haha
