I need an escape, I have a need to get away
I want to push back and fly

fly off into the clean, clear blue of the air
beyond the dark, the smuggy landscape
drifting low over ground

each breath lighter than the one before it,
skin smoother from the gentle caress of the wind,
I'm bare and open as the day I opened eyes to the world

Sighing,
I only wish it were so.
