Like a baby bird
Harnessed to its nest
Humans when young
Cannot see much else
Blind at first
Their eyes only see one thing
The bright light of the sun
Is all that seems to be
With the passing of time
Comes the gain of sight
Now there is darkness too
That consumes the light
Jumping out of their nest
They fall far from home
Hurt by this cruel new world
Seeing past what’s bright
