I want to build forts from sheets (I was never allowed) in your room and let you find me when you get home, I want to giggle all night with a lamp and a comic or story, maybe with some shadow play, in a tent - indoors, I want to make snow angels in the middle of the night, because I can - it has snowed, I want to see a unicorn and let her lay her head in my lap - I wouldn't tell anyone (I might whisper), I want to dance around in the rain, in the snow, in the moment and hear you laugh - so close, I want to build castles and be swept away by evil but kind hearted princes and princesses, I want to jump in piles of leav

I'm raging against the wind, I need someone to take my hand - hold me down, I'm afraid to be swept away, far from everything I love, from everyone, I'm as light as a feather, empty inside and if I just stand on my toes the wind will take me, the wind howls, the wind yells, screams, I exhaust myself with it, no one is there to protect me from the wind, the echoes inside my ribcage, the only thing anchoring me is the promise of not flying away - yet.
