YOU SET ME FREE

Author: Tanja Sarmiento

Never once have I experienced this.
This feeling inside me.
I feel so alive.
So free.

I can smile without trying.
I can gaze at the world, 
and realize the beauty.
I can stand up tall
And never once fall.

I feel as if I have wings...
Wings you granted me.
I feel like I can spread them
And just take flight.

Do you understand what you mean to me?
Do you see what you've done to me?
Do you realize how happy you make me?
Boy, you set me free.

I can sprout my wings;
Spread them wide;
Jump into the air-
And fly.

Because...
You set me free.
