Born To Fly…

It wasn't suppose to be like
 this.
I was created for so much
 more than to be bound to the land.
It wasn't suppose to feel like 
this.
To be pinned down by so 
much weight.
Breathless
Hopeless
helpless.
It wasn't suppose to look
 like this.
All Thunder and Lightening
Flashing lights.
I was never suppose to be 
constantly looking down for 
me.
I want to soar
be free.
To feel the wind caressing every single inch of 
me.
I want to be free.
I want to be still in midair
explode with power.
I want to be free.
I want to reach the heights of heights and never come down.
I want to be free.

I was born to fly
so high.
I was born of the air.
To glide this way and that
turn 
swirl
spread
my wings.
I was never meant to find peace in the dirt.
I was born to fly
I was born to be free.
