Defying Gravity/Wicked- Intermediate Freeskate 3rd Place Northland Competition ‘25 Ashleigh Berlien

Something has changed within me. Something is not the same. I'm through with playing by the rules of someone else's game. Too late for second-guessing. Too late to go back to sleep. It's time to trust my instincts. Close my eyes. And leave. It's time to try defying gravity. I think I'll try defying gravity. And you can pull me down. Can't I make you understand? You're having delusions of grandeur. I'm through accepting limits. Cause someone says they're so. Some things I cannot change. But till I try, I'll never know. Too long I've been afraid of losing love. I guess I'm lost. Well, if that's love, it comes as much too high a cost. I said I'll try defying gravity. Kiss me goodbye. I'm defying gravity. And you can pull me down. Glinda. Come with me. Think of what we could do. Together. As someone told me lately, everyone deserves a chance. And if I'm flying solo, at least I'm flying free. Tell them how I am defying gravity. I'm flying high, defying gravity. And soon I'll match them in renown. And nobody in all of Oz, no wizard that there is or was, is ever gonna bring me down. I hope you're happy. Remember, we make it. Together, we are much more than we think.
