Is it real?
It this true?
I feel the wind.
I am free.

I'm flying.
The wind is with me.
I'm flying.
I'm coming clean.

I hear laughter!
It's mine I think.
For the first time
I smile.

Just as swift
As it has come
It goes.
I fall.

It seems like forever
My joy evaporates.
My wings are torn.
I lie crumpled on the ground.

And I cry.
