Free Bird.

I run towards the storm,
Faster than I've ever run before.
I am the first bird you see, gliding
Towards the sun at every dusk
And dawn.

By honouring my past, living
In the present, I am a slave to
The steady beat of my heart and
The melody of my soul.

Dancing towards my future,
As the rhythm of positive energy
Becomes me. 

I am a free bird.
I was born to fly, not be
Controlled.

I smile to myself as I feel
My heart let go of what too tightly
It did once hold, I close my eyes
And mute the noise in my
Mind.

With the wind beneath my
Wings, I soar to great heights.
It's just me, and the never ending
Sky.

I have nothing to regret,
Because here, I don't ever have to
"Grow up."

Nothing can hurt me, I don't have
To worry about anyone who might
Desert me.

Why blend in when I can
Stand out? Why talk quietly when
I can laugh and shout?

To be my true self in 
All of my natural glory,
Is what life's all about.
