Restrained
the wind is 
picking up,
begging me to 
soar and swoop and dive
freely
But I am chained
to a million 
people, places,
thoughts, actions
dragging me down 
like a bowling ball 
on my chest

All I want
is to fly
away
from everything that is
holding me back
let the wind
carry me to places
unknown
it may be forceful
at times
but I will carry on
go where I am free
a feather, a speck
floating through 
nothing
Restrained?
Not anymore.
