Born blue and green, it took me too long to realize.
I have legs, like all of you. I walked one time with the rest of my world.
I grew wobbly, day by day, but I kept up with them.
Until our fates kicked in.
Placed in these four walls, I am surrounded by water, blue like me.
Not able to fly high in the sky, I won't ever run fast and free.
If I were to try and rise, the ceiling is covered in barbs. Bursting my bubble, I'll never feel the forest's leaves.
Never get a blast from life.
I can take the heat, for I am stronger than it.
But that doesn't mean I feel no scorch.
I want to live in the moment,
Like time has stopped just for me.
And then the iron gates spread wide.
You were blue, like the sea.
And just like the waters, you were like me.
I didn't want to fight you, like I had the others.
After all, why fight someone like I?
But sadly I was mistaken.
I saw you change. The shade of earth and mineral,
You became a nasty hue. Why can't I fight surprise?
You became distant, although you looked me in the eyes.
So hard to wash this down, you showed me you were free.
You became one of them.
I just wish, my only wish.
Now that I've given up.
I just wish, accepting nature's way,
That what you have gained from our meeting
Will one day be of use.
I know you had to, maybe didn't want to,
Drift far from me.
I am not angry, it was bound to be done!
I know now that no one will ever be
Blue like me.
Yet why do I still feel So green?
