Thank you for giving me the wings

Thank you for giving me the wings

The weights on the shoulders walking day in and out,
can't seem to shake it off, seems like I am going to drown.
I have been walking day and night and day again
been through scorching sun and perpetual rain.

A ray of light, bright but enough to burn,
you show me way, yet I am scared, I run.
For you are my light, and you are my weakness,
a pain in heart and the answer to my sickness

I will drown with the heaviness, I cave
I have nothing to loose but me, why am I to save?
Yet you come, to the abyss and set me free,
free from my demons, you are the root to my tree

A lot is unsaid between us, banal conversation of things.
Answering the unasked questions, you give me the wings.
For I no longer cage my heart or be be part of herd,
thank you for setting me free as a bird
