Lend me wings
To roam the blue skies
And see sights I have never seen before,
I miss those days
When I travelled from place to place
With an elated mind and feet so sore,
Though my compass pointed North
My heart leaped forth
Towards any direction unknown I stepped without fear
Now, harsh as it seems
The reality has steeped in
The whole world is shrouded in mystery and despair.
I had let myself loose
Like a helium balloon
I floated, in and out, here and there,
To see my wandering being
Tied down in pieces of strings
Of restrictions, is too much for me to bear.
I dream of floating lights,
Rainbows and sunkissed peaks
And myself, savouring the sights, stretching my arms,
Just as the magic starts to unfold
My pulse quickens, my senses smooth as liquid gold,
I am woken by the rude, shrill alarm.
