I lay my eyes upon the sky,
Where the depths of my soul lie.
A tired, fragile soul—
Longing to escape the misery of it all.

Oh heavens, take my breath as yours,
Draw me into a realm where peace endures.
A haven free of these binding chains,
Etched so deep within my brain.

A prison I ache to leave behind,
Yet a home that soothes my mind.
I am nothing but a wandering soul,
Drifting, seeking its next north.
