Red-tail

I watch you soar
High above me

With envy I watch, wings spread wide
As you glide on the wind

God, how I'd love to spread my wings and fly
Feel the wind on my face, in my hair

What freedom that must be
To just fly without a care

But with freedom comes other problems
Would I just be trading one hell for another

Author's Notes

Driving home, after an extremely stressful day at work, I spotted a Red-tailed Hawk. And my imagination took off with it. But it didn't take long for me to come back down to earth.
