"I am a free spirit. Either admire me from the ground, or fly with me; but don't ever try to cage me."

Nature knows what she's supposed to do,
With all my feelings of haste;

And Nature knows how I'm supposed to feel,
And makes all the fairy dust real;

She brings me to the places that I find solace,
to separate the fear from the my soul;

So leave me at the clearing,
The only place I feel whole.

Since I've been young, I've loved to explore the nature surrounding my home and find special places. It helped me escape my worries for just a moment and feel complete.
