you put nails in the windows
and bells on the doors;
trying to stop me from running
but I couldn't take any more

--

kept runningrunning
though it is always tempting;

with the holes on the sides
where nails were unbolted,
but I fought the tides.
with my feet on the ground
and my head in the sky
is it a wonder to you
how I ever got so high?
