Take Your Broken Wings And Learn To Fly

To take a leap of faith 

Into the arms of another

To take a chance 

On your dreams

To take a stand

Against what everyone else believes 

To perform

In front of a thousand watching eyes 

To live a life

Without a web of elaborate self-deception and lies

To mold yourself

And not be molded by the shame you once felt

To be humble enough

To ask for help

To risk everything in every moment

Just to be honest

To give others the space

To be free

To amplify the ones you love

And to never minimize what they are and what they could become 

To give people the space to grow 

To take four walls

And turn it into a home

To look into the abyss

And not become it

To look at the light

And still choose the fight

To never shrink yourself

So others won’t feel alone

To always give yourself permission to shine unconsciously gives everyone else the permission to do the same 

So

Shine

And 

Rage

Rage

And rage

To be free

There lies something inside of thee

A soul

A fire

A dream

One that should never go to waste

The sky is there for you to taste

If you’ll only take your broken wings

And learn to fly.
