I want to know

A young girl experiences exclusion when no one in her family will tell her about all the tradegy they are experiencing due to her age. She speaks about how she wants to know the truth.

I want to feel, I want to know
Their pain, their woes
The tense wind, causes of its forceful blow
Casting a dark shadow, creating a tornado

I yearn to gain knowledge, to be like a crow
Open my eyes, see what the world can throw
I prefer to be up high, rather then lay low

But instead I stay here, watching the wind that forcefully blows
Moving only 10 inches, nowhere to go
Like a little tortoise, moving extra slow

Humans chatter, talk about what the world throws
Crying so hard, tears start to vastly flow
I’m a boat on their river, barely beginning to row

Chattering humans, I’m on their list to stow
My years, protecting me from the wind that forcefully blows
When I ask to help, it’s always a no
Still Wearing a pink dress, hair tied in a pretty bow

I yearn to leave this nasty bungalow
To wear plain T shirts, to untie my bow
Like a companion, Like a rose
I want to love, I want to grow

I'd say we all want to know, it's just sometimes we don't appreciate what we already do know.
There is a thing I'd like to know if you don't mind and that is just where you are located and let me assure you, I am not looking to come and eat all your banana loafs

I am located in the United States of America! I do agree with that us humans do know a lot more than other species! We should definitely appreciate that! Good point Thanks for your comment!
