Fear Not

Trust me enough
to let me stand to my full height
without reprimand.

Sing with me as I test
the strength and reach of my voice
uncovered,

for I must.

I have long outgrown
this narrow space,
and no choice remains
but to at last become
who I am.


You must have known
this day would come,

or did you think

   these

      wings

         were just for show?
