Witch's Way

🧙‍♀️

With the witch’s wave of her wand, you see a wisp of smoke
You feel freshly spawned, the new you hath woke

Your fear is present, but not so powerful
You are less pleasant, but a bit more tasteful

You asked for a wish, to be quite the dish
Although you meant appealing, the witch interpreted a different dealing

Perhaps, in the end, it’s not so bad
Your old life is over, but no need to be sad

You can now enjoy your days, simple as they will be
You can now explore the land, as long as you remain cage-free

People will pay you no mind, no different than previous
But you’ll have no demands, so your days are less tedious

You’ll learn to enjoy this life, with each day you’ll grow bolder
Just focus on yourself, and learn the pecking order

That witch did you dirty, but also a small blessing
No more need for fancy clothes, or really any sort of dressing

Arguably for the best, as it allows you to relax
You can now sit & rest, as long as the farmer isn’t wielding his axe

The new morning is upon you, with bright & beautiful beams
An urge takes over, to wake the world up with your screams

So the witch had her way, and played with your phrasing
But what can you say, you’re too busy grazing

You’ll accept her trick, as your flesh begins to thicken
You’ll get accustomed quick, to living as a chicken
