As I Am #nofilter


Pack me up and take me away. You know that I’m not meant to stay. I’m meant for more than what I’m confined to. But no one knows what I can really do. For I’m here trapped by your desires of who I must be, while like a bird I’m meant to be set free. I’ll make mistakes and I’ll do wrong, but maybe that’s what I was meant to do all along. So pack me up and take me away. I’m meant to go out and seize the day.
