Maybe not according to your timetable,
But I will fly
Give me room and I will expand,
Beyond your wildest dreams and expectations,
That is if you had any for me
Give me space and I will move,
Beyond the boundaries of your mind,
And beyond the boundaries of mine
Give me time and I will, I must fly.

*Inspired by a project for Envision that I supported in 2006. I had the privilege of working alongside an excellent group of young women at Burntwood School in London. Over two terms they became Envision Volunteers, and in their own time organised events to raise awareness around the issues of recycling, climate change and others. The words of this poem came together after I attended their final project - A Recycled Fashion Show.
