Yellow Bird

Yes, I am a little yellow bird.

I love to eat white grains with two sticks,

But I don’t speak the dialect of the bird.

I wear spectacles over my eyes,

But it’s not a style; I just couldn’t see without them.

I don’t eat animals that are endangered around the world,

I love them no matter what and I refuse to eat their flesh.

I don’t speak the bird dialect because I was born

Right here in the USA,

So don’t treat me like I can’t speak.

No matter what I am,

No matter what I do,

I’m still a proud little yellow bird.

I still tweet, just like everyone else.

I don’t even like mathematics,

But I still love education.

I’m just a yellow bird, wanting to learn

Without any interactions.

I just want to be alone,

So I wouldn’t have to deal with all the abusive bullshit.

I prefer books and cats over calculators and numbers.

I prefer soy lattes over bubble teas.

I’m just a little yellow bird who loves to be different with pride.

I may be an American,

I may be one of the kind,

But damn it,

I’m still a proud little yellow bird

Living here in the USA.
