Running with birds
Ever since I wore a size 3 in shoes i've always wanted to fly
Like the sprakling BlueJay
Maybe like the sneaky Red Robin
I could learn to stand out more, like a hawk
I've always had slight envy to birds. Their are never held back by shoes or time or words
But i've always been a little chick in the nest to scared to fly
It felt like such a sorrow
A chick like me laying in her comfortable bed
Gazing sorrwofully at all the other birds
Over the course of time my shoe size got bigger but my wings would'nt spread
Spread I say! Be like the others!
I've tried forcing myslef to fly
But to zero avial. Fear has paralzed me
No. I didn't catch fear like a common cold. I hide in it to make me feel safe
I'm understood by all when in fear
Because every bird has a fear of falling
I decided that today was going to be the day
I looked down sitting on the edge of my home, my nest
You couldn't see the bottom at all but my heart has never felt so close to the sky
I closed my eyes and took a leap of faith holding out my old wings
Stiff, tense, ugly, unatrual were words that high class hawks said to me
For the first time I couldn't hear them with my heart
Instead of flying I hit the ground but felt a rush of energy
I could stand. I was always standing. I was bigger then all those high class hawks and lower bullied doves
For the first time in forever I felt like a graceful eagle.
I threw away my size 11 shoes, took off my mental clothing and strated to run
I ran faster then any bird
I went higher then everyone else. As long as I had kept runnig I would always be on top
