Clipped Wings – A Quadrille

Clipped Wings

As hard as you might try
I will never be controlled
Thinking my spirit can be grounded
By clipping my wings
Will only make me run faster
Like the wind I can never be caught
I am free to blow whichever way I choose

    If you can run, do… don’t let anyone bind you.

    Love the truth in your words, “by clipping my wings, will only make me run faster” controlling another is the best way to lose them! 💯
