And I yearn to be free
To soar the heavens
With feathered wings
And seeing eyes
Escape the past
Escaping me
There is peace
I sense its warmth
But it is elusive
Lost in the shadows
Of myself
I yearn to be free
To find that inner me
That rock of stability
To free the shackles
That seem to hold me
I put them there
Of that I am aware
But somehow
I lost the key
Somewhere in a cluttered me
I’m getting closer
I know it
To the change
That will set me free
To soar and finally see
