My Only Obsession

The wind beckons me
As I look to the sky
That is as blue as the deep sea
And take in all its beauty
I know there that I can truly be happy
If only I was a bird up high
Lifting my spirits the further I fly
Leaving this crazy world and all its ignorance
That has wrecked my patience
And offered me depression
Leaving is my only obsession
