ACHES [Wattys Winner 2015]

A free bird

Curling up in your wings,

I take my last breath.

Feeling once & for all,

At home.

I am the bird, freedom.

Holding you in your tears,

Just before the flame of my life,

Is extinguished.

By the demons of your social creed,

When I am replaced

With chains of your society.

Why let them control you?

Why let them dictate you?

Of what you should and shouldn't do.

Just give in, in my feathery arms,

I would take you with me,

And we will fly.

Fly till the sky is,

Fly over the water,

Reflecting us and our wings,

Fly above the mountains,

Glide over the falls,

Fly till all eternity,

And till where eternity breeds.
