Flight 

She’s in the clear

She’s got her eye on the clouds

She’s ready

But where is she going?

 

She’s taking off

She’s leaving it all behind

She’s on her way to bigger things

But where is she going?

 

She’s flying at a low height at first

She’s acclimating to what she’s seeing

She’s apparently entered a whole new world

But where is she going?

 

She’s met some resistance

She’s fighting against a current she didn’t even realize was there the whole time

She’s seeing the same old world in a whole new way

But where is she going?

 

She’s continuing on

She’s not giving up

She’s embracing her power to persist

But where is she going?

 

She’s been pushed back time and time again

She’s been fighting back for what seems like forever

She’s exhausted with still a long way to go

And, oh God, she still doesn’t know where she’s going

 

She’ll get there

Wherever there is, she’ll get there

She’s on a journey of self discovery

That she’s not going back from

She’ll find where she belongs eventually

And her decision to take off from all she had previously known will be worth it

Eventually, she’ll find where she is going
