searching for daylight

I wish to feel light.

all through the night.

then I remember my weight.

and I don't feel right.

if only I could fight.

but my future has never looked bright.

I wish I wouldn't be stuck in fright.

then I could take on flight.

and I wouldn't need a knight.

that would be a beautiful sight.

I'm sick of being polite.

no one understands me unless I write.

now my lip I must bite.

if I'm to be alright.

I no longer need to fear the spotlight.

because in my hands I hold the might.

sometimes history I'd like to rewrite.

but that wouldn't bring me here tonight.

I don't care if ready I'm not quite.

I must I shall I will be alright.
