If I Was An Animal
If I was an animal
What would I be?
My defining traits
are sarcasm
musicality
bright colors
The only animal
that comes to mind
is a bird
a parrot
for it's talkativeness
a canary
for it's beautiful voice
a peacock
for it's extravagant feathering
but no animal know
is as fidgety
moody
strangely uncomfortable
among it's fellows
as I am
So I suppose
being a bird
is best
for whenever
I feel awkward
and out of place
the bird in me
can always fly free
