Seize the Skies

All I know is that I know nothing,

I am awash with contradicting words and emotions,

Adrift, I long to fly,

But cannot will the wind beneath my feet,

If I tore myself away,

From all that tethered me,

To the Earth, to my cage,

If I broke free of my chains,

Of the nagging voice in my head,

Would I stop dreaming of power,

Of strength and purpose,

And finally feel it for myself?

If I left it all behind,

Could I seize the skies?
