Ready to Fly
Lies have cocooned for so long,
Unsure how to live outside their
smothering comfort.
Loved ones struggle to accept,
Religious dogma making it difficult.
Leaving behind the life known
Pursuing a life outside anything
experienced.
Fear is almost a physical thing
The only other choice is to perpetuate
the lies.
The road isn't easy, but its the only
one left
All other options were exhausted.
To tell a lie is easy, To live a lie
impossible.
It slowly chokes the life out of the
liar.
The door edges open, A foot slowly
emerges.
Sly glances, hesitant of the path
chosen.
Tired of hiding, Tired of lies.
Ready for a change, ready to fly.
