Is it the ending of a journey
Or exploration to begin?
I'll pack no luggage, bags or boxes
For a trip I'll take within

It's not a cage door to be open
When being out is being in
It's a gateway or a portal;
A membrane in my skin

Let me crawl, let me walk, let me run
Let me skin my knees and cry
Leave me free of expectation
I'm learning how to fly

Let me grow, let me jump, let me soar
Let me spread my wings and fly
Keep me grounded, forever hopeful
And always asking "Why?"
