Open skies beckon in something broader I'd rather be safe than be someone's fodder But I'll work hard and put myself out there Let those who need them use my words To heal and grow and know it's possible Cloudy and gray puts me in a haze And I lose count of all the days I sit here in silence not making a sound Just dragging along on repeat While others succeed and fly But since open skies beckon in something broader I think it's time I do something odder And break from my norm to step out of comfort Sending hope to those below And bring them up with me
