Breathe in the air. Air rushing past my lips, into my lungs. Expanding
Exhale
Let it all out
I am my own pilot
Out the window, the monkey goes
Adios myself
I’m taking control
My intentions are clear, the directions in front of me
Firmly I grasp the wheel
I direct the airplane so that it’s steady
Flying straight
Stand tall
Stand strong
Stand true
Be yourself
Not someone else
Don’t be afraid to show it
Words are mere noises
Put your identity on the line
Taking risks is what builds your courage
Allowing you to ride the fear
Rather than being thrown off
Love yourself
Both your strengths and weakness
Have fun, be happy
Find the light among the clouds
