Kite

The sun filters in through the window

Creating a prism of light

illuminating me

I am me, I am so much more

My skin and my veins and my organs contain me

My blood boils and travels through my veins and

I struggle to survive on earth

I am more, I am a cup overflowing

I am a leaf dripping with dew and a bird

with a knowing glint in my eye

My heart beats out of my chest

I need to live and I have to grow and

I am too much to settle on earth

In this world there is only me

I am

a kite in the sky

I feel barely here

Because I am

I am more, I am a cup overflowing

I am a leaf dripping with dew and a bird

with a knowing glint in my eye

 I am

a kite in the sky  

I cannot simply be

I need to live and I have to grow

I am

a kite in the sky

Cut my strings
