Bird 

It's a journey to myself –
a quiet but powerful liberation.
I'm breaking away from old molds,
from roles that never belonged to me,
from paths I've followed,
without ever asking where they lead. 

I'm beginning to remember –
the feeling of vastness,
the joy of simply being.
No longer trapped in silent rooms,
no longer hidden behind yellow curtains
and sterile walls. 

We so often carry expectations
that no one has spoken aloud –
and yet they weigh heavily.
I want to let them go.
I want to breathe.
I want to feel life,
like the wind blowing through an open window.

I want to be free.
Like a bird in the morning,
light and awake,
ready to discover the sky.​​
