Free Me

I will never fly if you keep holding me Stop catching me My wings need to embrace the freedom of flight I need to fall to grow I need to fall to rise You can't keep protecting me from my destiny I was born to fly You have enslaved me with your love I want to be in the open sky I want to look at the sunset yes I want to fly I just want to live I just want to fly Free me from your hands I want to feel the water beneath my feet I want to fall in love with life Free me You will be the death of me The end of me Free me I want to fly I want to feel the wind glazing on my wings The glory of freedom lives in my heart I look in the sky and see the others fly and I am trapped in the hands of what you call love Free me I need to fly I need to rise I need my freedom I was born to fly Free me

This is great, just lovely beautiful. It beckons the feelings of an angel/bird/or butterfly. Asking to be let go. Great write. James :)
