height

when i know that leaving is a must

more than a request

a demand

a sentence

free(dom)

from me

from you

from us

that...world

that...pain

that...loss

those expectations

those assuming thoughts

those obligated nights

those tired mornings

i wrote once

that i wanted to be a bird

i was 5 or 6 or 7

doesn't matter. i knew. this. here. now

i saw this. i saw me.

i don't like me

i don't like this

i don't like who i have become

i forgive...

you

mostly me

i forget...

you, in the midst of remembering me

i am thankful

i know i am more

i am better

i have, been better

i see more

i hear better

i feel, me

i want me

i am

that bird

a bird

i fly

i am flying
