Flew away

An inner glow fills me tonight.
My clipped wings spring free as I prepare to take flight.
Into the big world that's just waiting for me.
To show it what I'm made of and all that I can be.

The world is my oyster though they make me go ew!
I'm going to grab the bull by the horns and show it what I can do.
For the courage I lacked, I now have an ample amount.
So much so that that high I cannot count.

No more do I need my battles for me to be fought.
I passed the school of life where I was expertly taught.
A challenge doesn't scare me any longer.
If I fail, I'll try again it will only make me stronger.

I can do anything that I put my mind towards.
My blinkers tell me the only way from here is for-wards.
One step at a time with a breath inbetween.
Steady with the beat of the drum, as the light I've now seen.

Not going to beat myself up anymore.
I forgot what I used to cry for.
Tears of pain are out as droplets of joy take their place.
Should pain beckon me I'll say there's no space.

For I'm full up on things that make me smile.
Since I cracked a smirk it's been longer than a while.
So I leave my old life behind and command it to stay.
As from all the heartache it's high time I FLEW AWAY?!?!
