If I were a bird

Ascend,
I would to the skys.
Live,
I would for the sake
Born of feather,
I would be

...Free?

or
Regretless,
from a lack of choice,
Joyless,
from a lack of sorrow,
Loveless,
from lack of hate,

If I were a bird.

I've read so many poems and comment about being a bird. 'if i were a bird i would be free' it seems to be one of those old cliches. Personally I like being a human and I think that I could never be more free than I am as a human being. I also think that there are many facets to human life, some that we may dislike, but it is was makes the human species unique.
