Down to Earth

Why would I need to be brought down to earth

When I've spent a lifetime learning to fly

Through what was said and left unsaid

Told I was supposed to live on the ground

Every word a weight

Every day a wall

Refusing time and again to accept this fate

I fought for this place

My right to dream for more

This will not be the day when I listen to your words

I decide who I was born to be

I resolve to fly
