Free to fly

                                                                    Free to fly

They judged

They manipulated

They scorned

You accepted their judgment

You succumbed to their leeching powers

You were left to piece yourself back together

But the saving grace is that

As they broke you

You became the architect

In restoring your entire being

You realized that you were the master of your own fate

And you CONQUERED

You lavished in your own successes

And took pride in every single fall you took

Because you knew that all these failures

Was part of an ingenious master plan

You expressed your emotions on paper

And the paper freed your spirit

And as you began to realize that you had become

You smiled at the faces that once drowned your ecstasy

You smiled because you had become a being worth recognition

You smiled because the chains that once held you had been broken

You smiled because you were free

Free to fly !
