Cold Steel Walls

I wish I was a whale, 

Swimming in deep ocean, 

Breaths held deep did stay. 

 

I wish I was a frog, 

Hopping from each island, 

Water but a pleasant shower. 

 

I wish I was a cow, 

Holding in my dairy, 

Walking by hoping for some grass. 

 

I wish I was a human, 

Breathing in a world to behold, 

And all the bittersweet feelings. 

 

I wish I could remember, 

What it feels like to remember, 

A life outside of cold steel walls.
