starstruck
i think, maybe, maybe if you just saw what i saw all those years ago. maybe if you just saw it all.
i saw freedom, right before my innocent eyes, pure freedom. i saw it all in that sky. i lived under that for two whole weeks. but first it was only a sky, a beautiful one i had never seen, but just a sky. and then that night, that night changed me. or maybe all it did was wake me up. but whatever it did, my life, right under that sky, was different. under the new sky, the sky filled with flaming sparkles of light and beauty, the sky i never knew. so now, back in boring illinois, under this familiar sky, i feel how it's pressing down on me now. i feel the dull sky's weight on me as it pushes me down and know i am no longer free like i was back there. i'm trapped under this blank sky. i wont be free again until i find that new sky again. until i return home, to where i really belong.
