Gate 47, boarding now

I don't look back

I can't look back

But I'm going

Threw my wedding ring into the JFK trash

Bought a one-way ticket with the last of our cash

Your voice in my head saying "You'll never leave"

But I'm thirty thousand feet and I can finally breathe

Phone keeps buzzing — forty-three missed calls

I power it down and watch it all fall

No more walking on eggshells in my own home

No more sorry, sorry, sorry in that tone

The ocean's loud enough to drown you out

This is what my freedom sounds like now

I'm learning to fly with broken wings

Learning to trust in simple things

Like waking up and no one's mad

Like laughing without feeling bad

I'm learning to fly, it's terrifying

But staying on the ground was dying

So I'll take the fall, I'll take the fear

At least I'm finally out of there

Customs agent asks "Business or pleasure?"

"Pleasure," I say, and mean it for once

Mirror shows a stranger's face

Someone I forgot lived in this place

I sit alone and order what I want

My hands stop shaking by the second beer

First time in forever I'm not scared here

No more checking my phone every five minutes

The sunset's mine, I don't have to share

I can just exist without your stare

I'm learning to fly with broken wings

Learning that I'm worth something

Like taking up space without apology

Like remembering who I used to be

I'm learning to fly, it's terrifying

But your love was slowly killing

So I'll take the scars, I'll take the pain

At least I'll never go back again

Some nights I still hear your key in the door

You said I'd never make it on my own

But then the waves crash loud and clear

I'm not running from, I'm running to

A life that doesn't include you

I was caged but now I'm free

You don't get to define me

Every scar you carved in my skin

Is proof that I can begin again

I'm learning to fly with these healing wings

Learning to trust in my own voice again

Like taking up space without saying sorry

Like remembering my own damn story

I'm learning to fly, still terrified

But I'd rather fall than be your bride

So I'll take the leap, I'll take the pain

I swear I'll never go back again

Day thirty: I haven't looked over my shoulder once

The ocean doesn't ask me to be quiet

I'm learning to fly

And maybe that's just learning to live again

I'm learning to say yes

To myself
