Meant to Fly

I am a free bird,

Don’t cage me.

I’m meant to fly,

Don’t chain me.

In the shackles of expectation,

Don’t make me leave behind

What I truly am.

For I will beat my wings

Against this cage,

I’ll tear them apart

Striving to break free.

I won’t stop trying

For the sky sets no limits,

Expectations will fail to bind me,

As freedom will find me.

I’m a bird

And I’m meant to fly

               In this effort to be free,

Don’t let me die.
