Flying
“I feel heavy”,
I tell the wise one.
“What are you carrying?”
They ask gently, knowing.
I think of the doors,
In my mind, in my heart, in my soul,
That I dare not open.
Behind them dreams I hesitate to pursue,
Lest I fail.
For in dream form, there is still hope to cling to.
Amongst the dreams are also shadows;
The darkest parts of my soul.
Memories, pain, loss,
I’ve locked them away.
I do not wish to look at these parts of myself.
“Set them free,” the wise one beckons.
“How?” I ask.
“Share them,” they reply.
“What if I don’t want to feel it?” I whisper.
“You already do.” They reply.
“What if they won’t love me?” I question.
“They already do,” the wise one conveys.
“Be brave, have courage.”
And so, one by one,
I pry open the doors of my soul.
Light floods every corner,
Releasing the chains,
That have kept me from flying.
