The Window

Feeling the darkness inside,

Confined by the walls I abide

Built over years of time,

Keeping me from the world outside.

The window holds the view

Of all that I'd like to do

Seen from inside out

My heart longs to fly but dark brings doubt.

Wandering ever near

To the glass in panes so clear,

Evokes a burning desire

To break the walls of fear.

To open window wide

Where fear and free collide

Climbing upon the sash

Dare I spread my wings and fly?
