I stop
And stare,
Frozen
There is a choice to be made
Thoughts run through my mind
What if…
Maybe…
I don’t know…
But…
Doubts and chaos
Emotions running high
Could I?
I take a step
Light hits me,
Warmth
I see my shadow
It falls farther behind
Walking, skipping, sprinting
There is wind in my hair
Sun in my eyes
I’m laughing,
Gasping
Flying
I feel no pain, no ache
I am higher than the sun,
Lighter than the sky
I am an eagle,
Painted as I dip and dive
I am a cry of life,
A determined soul
I am myself,
A runaway
And I can fly
