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?"
