Twitter, Twitter, my friends are singing,<\/p>\n
Swish, Swish, wind is accompanying,<\/p>\n
Ling, Ling, flowers are dancing,<\/p>\n
Only me, Imprisoned in a cage.<\/p>\n
Master always tells me:<\/p>\n
There is a monster outside the cage<\/p>\n
But they<\/p>\n
Are playing with each other happily<\/p>\n
If happiness comes at a cost,<\/p>\n
I am willing to pay\uff0c<\/p>\n
Please, Please,<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t lock me in the cage,\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alone\u2026<\/p>\n
I want to hug the sky,<\/p>\n
But I cannot,<\/p>\n
I want to hear the world,<\/p>\n
But I cannot,<\/p>\n
I want to thank the sun,<\/p>\n
For giving me warmness,<\/p>\n
But I cannot,<\/p>\n
I want to fly back to my hometown,<\/p>\n
But I cannot.<\/p>\n
\u201cGo to sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n
My master says.<\/p>\n
In my dreams,<\/p>\n
I saw my mother, and my sister.<\/p>\n
I could not fly at first.<\/p>\n
I practiced everyday,<\/p>\n
But I failed every time.<\/p>\n
Finally, my mother and my sister give up me,<\/p>\n
They fly away…<\/p>\n
They left me,<\/p>\n
Alone…<\/p>\n
I still wanted to fly in the blue sky,<\/p>\n
I practiced, I failed, I fell onto the floor,<\/p>\n
I sang, I danced, I tried to make myself happy,<\/p>\n
But I\u2019m lonely…<\/p>\n
Finally, I can fly high in the sky,<\/p>\n
I can sing with my friend,<\/p>\n
But,<\/p>\n
My master caught me,<\/p>\n
And took me home,<\/p>\n
I thought that was the beginning of my well-being,<\/p>\n
It\u2019s NOT…<\/p>\n
