Chasing Your Deepest Desires
She looked out to the flourescent sky
Daydreaming like a small child
Wishing she had the wings of a bird so she could fly
She wanted to be free, she wanted to be wild
Wanting to show everyone what she could truly be
But feelings were holding her back
Everyone she cared for; they wanted her to have the best
But how on earth could she leave her heart-warming nest?
As she stood and watched everyone else go
Tears streamed down her face
Why am I afraid to give my desires a chase?
Or maybe am I just slow?
She felt so digraced
She felt so misplaced
She felt so replaced
When she saw her friends fly at a steady pace
As she looked behind her, not many remained
She knew she had to fly, she must not be restrained
In her heart began to ignite a ferocious fire
At that moment, she now had flown
Fighting, struggling and reaching for her deepest desires
