I Can Fly... by Euna P.

Trapped in a cage
with nowhere to go.
I see others flying free.
But I was set here by fate.

Fate has chosen me
to be in this teeney cage
while others soar so freely
in the never-ending skies.

Why must I be the one never to fly?
Why must I be the one chosen for this?
I want to fly
I want to be free

I see others in cages around me.
They share the same future
that fate has put me into.
Why me?

But wait!
It's not fate that is responsible
for me in this cage
for me being trapped.

It is not fate
or anyone's fault.
No one's fault at all
but my very own stupidity.

It is because I was blind
to how one can change
which is the true power
that changes everything, even fate.

I had always considered myself strong
because I was strong enough to bear
the pain of never flying.
But I was so wrong.

I was an idiot
and I was weak.
I could change too.
I fight my way out.

It depends on how hard you fight
how hard you try
not fate
that determines your future.

I am in a cage, yes
but if I have any sense at all
and if my dream to fly
was ever true...

Then I should be willing to fight for it.
I should fight my way out
no matter what it takes, no matter what I face
and that is true strength.

I will claw and tear and rip
at the lock that closes the cage.
One day, if I hold fast, and stay strong
and if I can change my heart

Change my heart
to accept that fate does not determine everything
Change my heart
to accept that I can change the unchangeable

Change my heart
to accept that I can break anything
Change my heart
to accept that I can fight for my dream, not shove it aside...

I will fly into the blue yonder
and then I will help others.
I will show them how to fly
just as I did.
