The birds flew and fluttered fiercely,
as they engulfed the skies above.
I did not know what it meant to be free,
but within the chaos, I found love.
I forgot what it was like to breathe,
but then I elevated towards the clouds,
and the world fell heavily beneath me—
I no longer stood on solid ground.
My heart felt tied to this life,
but my spirit wished to float away.
The higher I went, the more I felt alive—
but then a voice called for me to stay.
