If I decide not to stay

If I decide not to stay

I would go walking far away

without looking back

I would always sing songs

with my guitar on my shoulder

I would travel without fatigue

the narrow streets of the city

My wings would grow again

and no one would cut them off

I would rise up to the moon

until able to touch it

Through oceans would swim

All I would cross

stopping in islands

to submerge with mermaids

Would not look for companionship

to avoid falling as prisoner

within some heart

Yet would look for a shelter

and turn it into a home

Would let the door open

to not captivate anyone
