Sometimes, we will feel the need to
Never let our feelings go;
With our teeth and talons sharpened
We defend them from below.
You, though; you have crossed the line, or
Maybe I did, maybe both
In a flying leap, it’s broken;
Of this breakage, I am loath.
Now I have no further want of
Pain with which to fill my days
Oh, but how I once did long to
Bask in your admiring gaze.
This day’s perfect for escape, for
Flying off into the sky
To the sun, I stretch my wings,
Embark upon this sunny lie.
I will learn to fly without you;
I won’t steal away your time
I don’t need your judging guidance
I don’t need your hand in mine.
Now I flee you, fully knowing -
You’ve been with me every day
I release my talons from you
Leave your roost; just fly away.
