Fly Away Poem by Davina Caddell

I need to go to a place where you can’t find me.
I’m going to fly away.
You keep on trying to change me.
You keep on trying to control me.
My heart cannot be caged.
My longing to be free will not age.
You have to let me go
You cannot break me
You cannot make me someone I’m not.
My room is empty,
My wings are spread,
They pierce the sky
Of once I dread.

I need to fly away
I need to get away from this place.
I need to be free form these chains that bind me.
I need to find a place where no one can find me.
I’m going to fly away.

I want to run as fast as I can
I want to get away, far away from this place.
I need to be free for a while
I need to be me for a while.
Can’t you let me be free?
Can’t you let me be who I am?
Can’t you just let me be me?

I need to fly away
I need get away from this place.
I need to be free form these chains that bind me.
I need to go to a place where no one can find me
I’m going to fly some day.

No one knows me
No one cares
You ignore who I am
You demand me to be some one I cannot be.
You cannot expect me to ignore me feelings
You cannot expect me to cage my heart away forever.
My wings are spread and I am ready to fly.

I need to fly away I need to get away form this retched place.
I need to be free form these chains that bind me here.
My wings are stretched out
They pierce my gray skies.
I am away from that place
I am free from the chains that bound me
I’ve found a place where they cannot find me.
I am finally free
I am finally flying away

I need to fly away
I need to get away from this place.
I need to be free form these chains that bind me.
I need to find a place where no one can find me
I’m going to fly away today.
