Like a Bird.

One day I just want to be able to fly away. Leave and go where ever I please with nothing but the wind at my tail. I want to soar high above the world and look down upon the little things. I could see the top of every mountain, soar through every cloud, graze the surface of every ocean and at the end of the day, still be free. Free from all the chaos. Free from what the life on earth brings every day. One day I am going to fly. I will be a bird and spread my wings. I will chose to run from everything but be scared of nothing. I can reach the end of the sky and fall free to the ground. I want to roam and be free. Free is something we don't really have any more. We are never truly free from anything. We all have strings that tie us down. They are sometimes people, sometimes jobs, always rules and never any fun. We have to stay in the lines and do what is told of us. We can try to run but everything stops us. If I could have the wind at my back and nothing in the world to tie me down, I would be gone. I want to travel the world, but the strings are money. I want to roam free, but boundaries tie me down. I love my strings that tie me to family and friends, but sometimes they just pull too hard and I can no longer breathe. I want my place that I call home to be only where I land. Home, the hold on my feet keeping me to the ground. If I were a bird, the world would be great. I could be shot out of the sky; at least I would die free and happy, doing what I love. Love, the ultimate bond to earth. It keeps people grounded beyond imagination. Love will bury your soul in the furthest depth of the earth. No strings are needed because love is so strong, you can not come out to breathe. Is Love what we want to keep us on the ground or is it what we find because we are too scared to fly away and be free? Can you really live alone and be happy? Or do you have to bury yourself in the ground for love to find security. Why is it that we look so hard and deep for a single emotion? Can we love and be free? Is that something achievable?

I know we can never fly away and we can never be truly free, but if you follow your own heart you will be as close as you can ever be. Do what your heart longs to do. Do not follow someone who is going to hold your heart in a jar, tied down with strings. If you want to love, then love, but only give your love to the one who will give just as much in return. If you want to fly solo, then fly solo. Do not let the little things keep you grounded, for in the end, they will be the things that destroy you. Explore. Alone or together, get out and see the tiny world. It is not as large as we imagine, yet there is so much that people never see. They are kept in the egg in which they were conceived. They still have yet to hatch and many of us die before we can truly break the shell open. Break your shell. See the light which life has to offer and roam.

If you do anything in life, do it for your freedom. Be free of all strings that tie you down. Follow the path that will lead you to an open field of endless imagination. Be a bird today. Soar. See the little things. Dream. It will show you where your journey can lead you. Act. Do what you want to do and enjoy what you do. Live. If you do anything, the least you could do is live for yourself. Everything else will fall into place. Break the strings of the puppet master and live, act, dream, soar, and explore. You, too, can be a bird today. Why wait?
