Once Again

I want to write
about one thing
but I don't want
what I say to escape
I want to remain singing
the bird on the top of the mountain
as long as I keep singing their perfect little song
I won't tilt the cage
of course I don't know this for sure
I've just assumed so
no one ever told me different
what happens when I sing a different tune?
when I put my own interpretation on the vanilla song
will it be better?
most people like vanilla ice cream with toppings
so why do I have to sing such a bland song
verse by verse I continue on
I hear every other bird singing in the same choir
then I hear it
a harmony
someone broke the chorus
they left it
and they continue singing
they didn't fall
I sing one note off
then another
suddenly I'm singing a totally a different song
and I'm better than I had ever been
even if I were to fall
this would be the best part of my dreary life.
