Let me go
Permit me to take off,
running through the brambles and long grass
past the trees, through the ice

Let me reach the runway
picking up speed as I sprint across the barren ground
erasing all memories of blank gray
as I prepare to enter the sky

Let me fly
let me take to the skies by my own devices
leaping, dancing, however I choose
just let me spread my wings

Let me see
beyond the clouds, let me find the sun
feel its rays, absorb, soak in the warmth from its blaze
get as close as I can to capture some of its brilliance without burning

Or better yet, let me burn
let me crackle, sizzle, ignite, rage, explode!
let me truly live
constrained by nothing, soaring through and beyond the clouds
to the very core of the sun
Let me radiate the sun's light for all to see
