TW: BULLYING/HINT OF SUICIDE

Today I will spread my wings.
Today I will fly.
I will get myself off the ground.
And soar into the sky.
No longer will I live down here.
On the hell I call the earth.
Where people tell me how to live.
And teach me of my worth.
The people here they torment me.
They sit me on my own.
And tell me to repent myself.
As this world is not my home.
I tell them to go worth themselves.
And live their own strict life.
I leave them all in shock and fear.
As if I'd stabbed them with a knife.
Why do people care so much.
If I want to live this way.
It's not like I'm planning to force them.
They have their own choice to stay.

I open the door and out I run.
To the edge of the world that I know.
The clothes I wear they dance in the wind.
And the rocks they crumble from down below.
My eyes glue shut from the force of the wind.
As I get my wings out and ready.
They spread themselves out around me.
Already keeping me safe and steady.

I wriggle my toes and scrunch up my nose.
I breathe a deep breathe as I relax my chest.
Just one step to go, now I'm taking my last.
I watch this world go around and I guess you know the rest-
Because of course my wings do fly.
