Flying High

(In our effort to be the best of what we can be, we reinvent ourselves and discover so many places we’ve never been to before.)

Just like a bird leaving its nest
as the winds begin to blow
I’m now about to take a big leap
to some place I’ve never known
Even if at times I’m reluctant to change
my friend has told me
how wonderful it is
that I have reinvented myself
I’ve always been a quiet girl
not willing to be heard
always accepting, never questioning
what it is that’s happening to me
But now I find myself
pouring my heart and soul
to someone willing to listen to me
asking questions never before answered
Trying things I’ve never imagined doing before
Writing classes I’ve taken as a challenge
Dancing before an audience
I no longer find embarrassing
Moving to a life where I can just be me
Flying high, I’m no longer afraid
I just close my eyes to wherever it takes me
I’m now about ready to go
where the wind blows
