There's an itch in my mind saying let's do something. A shiver in my body that whispers of dancing and twirling an evening away. A surge of energy in my feet that begs to run and move. A weight on my shoulders that reminds me I am not free to go where I please as much as I long to. An ache in my back for invisible wings that are bound by insecurity and expectations. There's music in my ear singing of freedom and hands reaching out for me. It makes my heart pray for bravery as I place it in this person's hands and hope for the best. There's a smile filled with promises and eyes sparkling with laughter as they gently hold it close. Confidence breaks the chains as the music swells and my wings spread. It feels easy to take one step forward. And then another. Until I've given in and run forward. A jump, a flap, and I'm flying high in the air with the knowledge they will catch me if I fall.
Then they fly with me and I know. I know I am free. Free to be who I am whoever that may be. They dare to encourage my wildest wants and ideas. It makes me feel alive. And I try to give them that same love back. Because I want them to feel that free too. It's not easy. It can hurt sometimes. But it's worth it no matter what.
