Wings

Wings

You look for stability
and find comfort.

I see freedom
and long for wings.

I am suffocating
within these walls
we have built around us.

I feel too young and alive
to go on
in this stagnant state.

I feel I must
wander alone,
remember who I am,
discover what I can be.

I need to sing
and dance
and most of all,
I need to fly.
