Longing To Fly

Restless, pacing Caged in by This useless form That won't let me fly I see the birds above So wild, so free Beauty and grace Taunting me From this joy Im forever bared Doomed to remain here Broken and scared Among the clouds In skies so blue Wind riding their backs Is where I should be too A sunlight place That's where I belong And with the birds I'd sing along A song of joy Of peace and light Spread my wings From here take flight And not look back But fly on instead And keep on flying Until the end Escape the pain And just get away Leave and find A safe place to stay This new hope A wish a dream Desire so strong Destined to remain unseen

Try telling yourself, "I can fly," before you go to sleep. Sometimes it works. Good write. Congrats on the selection. daver
