finally
finally
 finally 
 i’m free 
 i don’t have to live within the walls
 the walls I call home 
 the walls I call school
 i can finally experience something 
  something called air
 i can run a thousand miles in any direction
 see the serene sky 
 for more than five minutes
 hear the chirps and melodies of every 
 type of bird in the world
 touch the velvet grass
 and lay myself down 
 in its layers of green blankets 
 smell every type of flower 
 jump into an immense pile of leaves 
 watch the clouds form 
 impressive shapes
 taste pure water 
 from a gorgeous waterfall
 
 one thing saddens me 
 how did I get here?
 i had to die
