Attempting flight
Breaking free of gravity
That holds me down
In my thinking
In my feeling
In my being
Wanting desperately
To rise above
These emotional obstacles
Release the floodgates
Feel the strength
Once more of my
Passions
Unleash my spirit
From these constant
Restraints
Stretch my wings
In a state of grace
And remind myself
Who I really am
