simple thoughts of being free

Look at this. Look at me,

I am...

No longer bound by the laws of gravity.

I am...

No longer trapped by my own insanity.

I'll float,

In the vastness of the chainless sky.

Unfurl my once-broken wings

And let me fly!

So free,

Like a precious rock dove.

So free,

To find someone to be my love.

I'll search,

among the mass of blue, blue sky.

Just let me unfurl my once broken wings,

And let me rise and fly.

And I think about it every day,

The ways you had chained me,

Trapping me without my say.

But look at me now!

I am floating, higher and higher.

Letting myself be finally free!

I am floating now!

Far, far away from you...

I am floating now,

Letting myself be finally true.

And I am...

Free. At last, finally free!

As for you....

You will

Never...

Ever...

Have me...

Because I am free.
