Free
The wind is gentle
As it flows through my hair.
Right here, right now,
I feel that I don't have a care.
Life is so easy
When I'm out here.
It is too peaceful
For me to have fear.
The sun shines down on me,
It feels warm on my skin.
There is no more peaceful place
I have ever been.
I am standing in a field of flowers,
They are vibrant and colorful.
I know for sure I have never seen
Anything more beautiful.
How I feel right now,
Is like when the stars align.
Floating free and limitless,
But yet I still shine.
I feel weightless,
Like I'm on cloud 9.
Every nightmare is forgotten,
Everything feels just fine.
But then I wake up,
And my life is back to normal.
There's nothing to be excited about,
There's nothing abnormal.
Then I remember him,
Bringing brightness to my day.
Bringing sunlight into my world,
Ridding my skies of gray.
Then there's her, too.
My best friend.
Almost every day together,
Friends until the end.
Together these two rock my world.
They make every moment bright.
They save me from boredom,
Always keeping me in the light.
With them here,
The skies are never gray.
With them here,
I love every day.
They keep me afloat,
Like my life is a ship.
They never let me down,
They always keep their grip.
My dreams are controlled by me,
But my life is not.
But that's okay though,
Because they are the dreams I've got.
In my dreams I'm always free,
In real life, not at all.
But you're only as free as you let yourself be,
So I keep standing tall.
