I Want To Be Free

Let me spread my wings, and soar over the valley like a bird. So please release me, I want to be free. A piece of freedom is all I want. To get my senses back from this cruel, mean world. It’s a nice calm day, with a slight tease of peace. I want to seize this moment., for just one minute longer. A feel of the southern breeze, against my face causes me to sneeze. I ease myself around a cloud, looking below to find geese ten degrees away. Gliding along beside the geese, I get a feeling that is so intense. My reality was soon restored. When I heard a sound that roared inside my head. A gun shot from the trees, wakes me up. I get on my knees and began to pray. I ask for a cease fire, from the war. All that I get is reprise from the world. But the lease is over, I must go. I thought that I could appease this day, so I could get some rest from this cruel, mean world. So please release me, I want to be free.
