Subiré

slipping down further into this rabbit hole

I find myself looking at a box of chains in front of me

ones that I've let hold on to me for years

that I've finally removed from my bruised skin

Why did I do this? What took so long?

Now that the fetters to my being are at my disposal

I must remove myself from this bird cage

I haven't stretched my wings in so long

I just hope that I'll learn to fly again

Tomorrow is near, and I can almost taste it

And as the light gathers within me

I let it warm my soul, closing my eyes

this new life enters me

I'm almost ready, to take on this gift of mine

breathe in all the air that I've missed out on

perceive all the beauty I've looked past

And let myself sink into love like I've never done before
