I Wish I Had Wings

By Sushma Odugoudar

Lonely and sad my mood again swings

With a wish, only if I had wings

In a flash I would fly

High and high in the sky

Happy and free in the clouds

Where joy and glee knew no bounds

To a land unknown of grief and dismay

And make my heart feel happy and gay

Where anger and frown never stayed a while

And faces around were glued with a smile

But in my head I now hear a scream

It’s time to come out of my dream

Into the world of bodies without a soul

And in their hearts a deep dark hole

This is nothing but a pity

That I’m back into reality

With no clouds around and no wings

Stress and boredom is all that stings

Lonely and sad now I silently cry

I wish I had wings with which I could fly
