About Flight

I wanted to take flight
But something stood in my way
At first
I thought it was the world
ridiculing me with its judgement
and projecting its shame
and it were the words
I heard
that prevented my wings from emerging
Like Icarus
I set out to build my own wings
And when I sat
with the feathers and wax
a voice, among the many I own, said
the only thing stopping you
from taking flight
is you
It was my judgement
my shame
and my limited imagination
to blame

I am loving these prompts on the app, threads. This one came about through the prompt flying. Someday, I will write about my experience here in Paris as a photography student and my motivation behind it. But for now, I just want to say, I am enjoying it. Loving the process of discovering myself all over again.

Just when you think you know yourself 🙂

(Maybe this can be the next prompt for me)
