I’ll walk on clouds and heavenly skies

When adult me looks through my child eyes

When I find the love that use to pour without bounds

It excites my heart that my spirit is found

I’ll not lay my future at your feet

Your dreams and goals you failed to achieve

Were put upon me as if they were mine

I’ll not submit

No more

This time

I want to live

Breathe and be me

For I am

Only, what I am

Not what you failed to be

And so a bullet sowed the seed

No more imprisoned

Eternally freed

And I’ll not wear your shoes through heaven’s gate

Freedom will never again wait

For you

And true

Even you

May not wear them there

When time allows you no sniff of air
