Building Nests

I sat and watched a bird

Build a nest out of nothing

It sang songs I never heard

It really taught me something

No idea is too absurd

I can tell you one thing

You could never tell a bird

It can't make something out of nothing

I sit and watch the world

Move faster everyday

Sometimes the moments just unfurl

In unnatural scary ways

I know I'm just a girl

Confined to my own space

But I'm still a part of this world

Maybe I can make a change

Hopelessness is synonymous

With accepting what's in front of you as fate

My restlessness for any sign of progress

Can sometimes turn me into what I hate

I sat and watched a bird

Struggle to fly against the wind

When it's persistence emerged

I saw what I had missed

I should never be concerned

For the challenge in the end

For you can never tell a bird

That it can't fly against the wind
