A Letter To God
When I was 5 years old I wrote a letter to God
Asking him to give me wings
Because even though I was young
I didn't think I could get anywhere on my own two feet
When I was 25
I realized that where I wanted to go
And who I wanted to be
That not even wings could take me
So I asked God for the ability to see
But not with my eyes
With my mind
So that in time I could figure out
Who I was truly meant to be
Because at that time
The people around me
All had an opinion on where I should go
What I should do
And who I should be
And I just wanted to be me
The older I got
The more I just wanted to be free
And I found myself
Back where I started
Asking God to give me wings
