What I would do for a day free of all that does restrict me,

that I had a future shaped only by my own hand.

That prophecy and fate left me alone.

I would that I could fly like the noble eagle and leave mortal life behind.

Nothing but feathers and whispers on the wind of my presence.

But I am ground by weighted words spoken before I was born,

by the expectations of society and those close to me.

Yet who really knows me for what I am,

a scared little boy who only wants someone to hold me, to love me.

I walk to battle now calm and composed for all to see,

but inside I tremble and speak in but a whisper...

"I don't want to die..."

I raise my wand

I speak not a spell

I am dying and I take him with me,

and the crowd all cheers.

Nobody cares for me.
