You need to be free
to fly away
to become what you were always meant to be
You need room to grow
to find yourself
to finish what you started
when you first stepped on the path
Don\u2019t hide away
don\u2019t hold back out of fear of what might be
Step into the sun
soak up the rays and let them empower you
Stand up
There\u2019s so much more you have to offer
Take those steps
don\u2019t avoid the struggles
Embrace them
Fight through the battles
to the spoils on the other side
Be what you were meant to be
Be free<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
