Lanterns
I wish to grow up with no worry
I wish to never face the world's fury.
I wish away the fear of the unknown;
longing to get away from home.
Tied between two different things
Give me some scissors to cut off the strings.
So hand me a lantern
To light up the sky
To spark up my hope
To say goodbye.
