I watched as my feathers grew one by one
Dazzling and dancing with color that stuns
Vibrant hues representing freedom and joy
Taking away all the bad to destroy
I watched as they molded to the shape of my body
Moving with elegance, grace and beauty
Ready to take flight into the glorious night
Roaring with purpose and utmost delight
I watched as I became one with the night
No longer confined by this world’s plight
Governments, preachers, every person I see;
They have no control, none over me
I am a spirit, wild and free
I am a rock, they will never bury me
I will live on through the sands of time
Tethered through my love and poetry so sublime
Try and fail to clip my wings
I will fly above all things
Soaring high into the sky
This is my purpose, my reason why.
I am a spirit, wild and free
I am a rock, they will never crush me
I break all shackled chains
Nothing oppressed will remain
They cannot hold me down for I will never be the same.

Roaring with purpose and utmost delight
I watched as I became one with the night
No longer confined by this world’s plight

I am a rock, they will never bury me
I will live on through the sands of time
Tethered through my love and poetry so sublime
Try and fail to clip my wings
I will fly above all things
Soaring high into the sky
This is my purpose, my reason why.
I am a spirit, wild and free
I am a rock, they will never crush me
I break all shackled chains
Nothing oppressed will remain
They cannot hold me down for I will never be the same.
