Only For One Day

I wonder what it feels like,
To have sunlight embrace your skin.
To not shy away from the clearest skies,
And simply enjoy the experience from within.

I find humans absolutely fascinating.
From the rooftops I just have to stop,
And watch everyone just wander around
Like pinballs bouncing from shop to shop.

Wearing clothes must be so bizarre!
So many choices, colours - baggy or tight?
All I have is an orange bandanna
Which I wear every day and night.

Having a job must be so wonderful,
But I've been warned that they're quite tiring.
Yet I always like to entertain the notion,
Of belonging to something.

Is having five fingers really that great?
Is high school more traumatising than it sounds?
Some people say I'm not missing out on much,
Then again, human know no bounds.

I guess what I watch most are the women.
Their short skirts, jewellery, makeup and curls.
I love how they clip-clop in high heels.
It doesn't matter though - I'll never date any girls.

Are girlfriends really that exhausting?
It just seems it's taken for granted.
But I bet it feels nice to have someone at night,
To love; to hold; to be enchanted.

The only thing I have in common,
Is that I have a family that I adore.
However, most people sleep soundly,
While we go to war.

How many enemies do people usually have?
Are they like the bad guys in comic books?
Or are we the only ones in this world
Who fight the villains and crooks?

I have so many questions,
To answer, Splinter tries his best.
Like why do I feel so cold when it rains?
The topside world; why am I so obsessed?

I guess I'll always keep watching,
Just to try and guess what it's like.
Am I really a human
Disguised as a turtle called Mike?

Of course there's always television,
Though I can't help but wonder if it's all true.
Is the world really like that?
Or is my version of reality all askew?

I could always ask April,
And listen to what she has to say.
But what I'd give to be human,
If only for one day.
