A Bird's Freedom Vs. My Own

Why is it that I try
to take my own life,
but it hurts to see
a defenseless bird
nearing its death?
There must be a reason.
Maybe it's because
a bird is free,
free from almost everything.
If I had that freedom
I too would live.
But seeing as I don't
a single slice of a blade
ends my misery
and I am finally
as free as the bird.
