I Wish

How I wish I could fly, Glide away from despair, Just like a butterfly, Flutter carelessly in the air. I want to be brave, Just like a lion, But I'm trapped in a cave, Though I am trying. Or I can relax like a sloth, Rest all day, completely still, But my mind races, back and forth, Overthinking takes skill. What if I was a dog, Energetic, but sweet, Instead I'm bogged. It's just not one of my feats. How do I feel free? Escape my troubles, Just like a bat, can't see the solutions to my struggles.
