Chip the egg it’s getting tight
Out I come to see the light
The big world I view for the first time
My mother bird’s protection I seek for comfort
As the days go by the nest I explore
I see my Mom fly all around the world
My life is safe here in my nest
But how do I enjoy life all around?
I know, I can fly like mom and dad do
I just have to practice and then I can leave
But I am scared of leaving so quick
Because I still have not found someone to care for
I hear the jokes from the others behind my back
They think I’m gay because I don’t have a mate
But gay I am not, though nothing is wrong with that
I just can’t take rejection; it’s not worth the risk
I’ve moved out my nest but still cannot fly
Because I do not have the courage, if rejected I may just die.
