Tell Me I’ll Fly

I want to hear you say-
"Your dreams will come true"
I want to hear you say-
"Everything is coming together"
I want to hear your say-
"Your hope has given you wings, so fly... fly now my beloved, fly now"
but all I hear is-
Nothing.
all I see is-
Falling.
all I feel is-
Failing.
all I smell is-
Burning.
all I taste is-
Dirt.
But I don't stop asking-
I don't stop hoping-
I don’t stop moving forward-
maybe I'm crazy-
I don't care-
because you will tell me-
"Fly, my beloved, fly high and fly strong"
"I made you for such a time as this- FLY and PROSPER"
and that's when the mountains stop crashing in-
that's when I can spit the dirt out my mouth-
that's when I will see the light breaking forth from the gray sky-
that's when the burning stops-
and I'll jump-
this time I won't fall. no-
I'll never fall again-
I'll fly-
I'll smile and I'll laugh-
I will see the sun and feel the warmth-
I will feel power, I will feel strength-

I will feel freedom, I will feel joy-
and I will know you have always been on my side-
and I will know you have always told me to fly-
I will know that I was always beautiful, wanted, and loved-
I will feel so many wonderful things-
but for now I'll wait and I'll hope-
because my hope will give me wings-
and you will say-
"Fly, Felicia, fly high and prosper... FLY HIGH and PROSPER..."
