So, you’ve found yourself finally free of the trenches of your soul
You yearn to fly and soar
To spread your wings and show the world the new you
To spread your wings and fly and leave the dust of the ground behind
But you’ve got to remember your wings were broken long, long ago
And you never truly learned to fly
I know you’re tired of hearing it won’t be easy
That it’ll be hard and an uphill battle
But the only other alternative is a downhill battle back to where you came from
So, you have to spend the time and effort figuring out how to be a new better version of yourself
You have to learn how to practice self-care
Wings take work they’ve got to be cleaned and preened
With care
They can’t just be left to themselves
Old feathers have to be plucked so new ones can grow
I can’t promise you it’ll be fun or easy but i can promise soaring across the sky is worth it
So, take your time but never cease learning how to move forward
Take the time to stretch those new muscles
Those new beliefs
That you were trained your whole life to disbelieve
And when you’re ready when your wings are healed and you’re ready to learn to fly
Climb that mountain
And take the plunge jump off the ledge without a parachute.
