I want to look at the night,
Gaze out into the unknown.
Dare to dream of flight,
A dream of conquering it all.
When night comes softly
On feet as light as air,
I can see more clearly
Of what I can dare.
Alone on this hilltop
With the embracing cold,
I will leap past boundaries
That I have created of my own.
Darkness hides all secrets
Beneath its cloak of despair.
Secrets that lie safe and secure
Until the morning light.
At night I can roam free
Without the hindrance of others.
I can leap over castle walls,
Sail forth on gossamer wings.
Looking down at all below me,
Sleeping in their beds of down,
I can see how I am different
And can never fit into the mold.
