Wake Me Up

Flying

there once was a girl

as that's how any story starts

that girl wanted to fly

to soar amoung the clouds

waving at the planes

and laughing

but no matter how hard she tried

she remained on the ground

she even tried cutting out wings

but they wouldn't lift her

she could only imagine how it would feel

to not have to worry about being disorganized

about missing out

about being wrong

about anything

she could just fly

further and further

from home

she would never belong in the sky

but that doesn't bother her

she doesn't belong here either

in the sky she'd be happy

she'd be free

then

on a particular day

a day where the sky almost seemed to call out

call out for her to join it

she made her last attempt

she climbed her way up

as far as she could go

higher than the treetops

till the birds flew past her head

she took a breath

and she jumped

and in that moment

she was flying

she was happy

she was free

and it was okay

after all

that's all she'd wanted
