Sheltered

From behind the screen I watch them run.
Watch them soar
Off into the blinding light of the sun.
Wind in their faces,
Music guiding their bodies
Move to the beat of the drum.

And..

I dream, i dream, i dream
I dream, of stepping out
taking those chances ,
Broadening my horizons

Screaming, frolicking, laughing
Having fun.

But the shadows draw me in,
Don't forget yourself,
It whispers.
Being something else,
someone else.

Bah! That's weak.
Settle down, retreat.
You won't like it out there.
Please, take several seats
