To Rise Above
Is it too late to dream?
My spirit still wants to fly.
Catching a sunbeam,
will soar sky high.
Can I still wish upon a star?
Not sure what to do.
Have I gone too far?
Will my wish still come true?
I have wasted the past few years.
Trying to make things right.
Too much sadness, too many tears.
I stopped looking ahead, I lost sight.
Are there still options open to me?
Or have I moved beyond it now?
Maybe my vision is too clouded to see.
The where, why, and the how.
I have needs that I have tried to deny.
But they have refused to be put away.
I must let my restraint go awry.
These needs must have their say.
The years that I had pushed aside,
in reality, are gone forever.
I can't let that go, though I have tried.
It's hold, I just can't sever.
I want to rise above all of this.
I really do need to fly.
In flight, I will blow all a kiss.
And to those holding me back, goodbye!
