Simi from Pipes by Grampfather

Simi, I am sorry, you may not go out--
get away from that window you're staring out.
Surely you will die if you ever make it out of the house.

Years pass by, people come and go,
yet you still wait ever longing to know
the freedom in the snow that lies beyond the glass,
but with one measly coat, you surely will not last.

Simi, I am sorry, you must stay inside--
the ghost staring back at you is not alive.
How many times do I have to tell you
you must resist that which compels you?

O I know just what you're thinking about:
all those new foolproof plans you've devised to get out.
You're a slave to this life, a slave to your design,
for if not for domestication your kind would have never thrived.

Just as a whale is curious of land, you crave the new frontier
even though you'll be damned, you just wanna run, you wanna hunt,
you wanna jump, you wanna fly!
to be free for one day would be worth it to die.
