Flying
April 15, 2014
Like the birds that soar above me,
I’d rather die
than be captured and caged.
So watch me glide high.
No one can shoot me down
when I sail through the sky,
Into the golden horizon.
Without a single goodbye.
I have wings,
though ruffled and weak,
they’ll take me far away from my fear.
And I'll be free to speak.
I’ll find a place
where I can do as I please.
I’ll land there
and never again fall to my knees.
Because I’ll be away from my anguish.
With no more crying.
I promised to find paradise and content.
So I’ve taken off and now I’m flying.
