I envy the wind its insubstantialness.
Colorless, shapeless, formless.
Passing through the world
With no lasting traces
Of its coming or its going.

I envy the cloud its lightness.
Fluffy, soft, changeable.
Flying high above the
World on soft breaths
Leaving shadows as it passes.

I envy the bird its wings.
Powerful, wild, unchained.
Soaring into the sky
On a blur of feathers
Rushing to freedom and happiness.
I was thinking about my past last night and what I might write had I been asked to write a poem in high school about whatever I chose. Which I did do before but this is more like my soul. I just wanted to be left alone and for people to stop bullying me. Enjoy and, as always, comments are :heart:

I really liked this. You did a great job with your word choices to provide the best effect and reactions. Well done!

I do have one suggestions. The second stanza, first line: I think there should be a comma after "cloud". The way it is presented, there is a natural pause there that should be noted. :)
