Riding the Wind - by Jennifer Hyman
She looked out over what she could see of the world and thought.
So small, so alone she felt.
She wanted to ride the wind,
run form the life that surrounded her.
She looked and saw the wind, saw her escape
In that moment she felt free.
She jumped from the height and was caught by the wind.
She did not fall or look back, only to the places this ride would take her.
When they found her, she laughed.
No one cared that she was free, and could be what she wanted.
All they saw was the life she left behind, full of broken promises and sorrow.
Why would she do that, they all thought.
She laughed, she knew that what they found was not her, only a shell,
a facade that she showed the world.
And time passed.
They forgot her while she forgot them and danced in the wind.
