He did it for himself.
Him and no one else.
He didn’t want to be ruled by someone else.
He didn’t want to live his whole life stuck up on a dusty old shelf.
He needed freedom, he needed flight.
He needed to run.
He ran tonight

I like your little rhyme at the end of the poem..."flight" and "tonight". It adds a different element to the poem that it might have lacked had it been a nonrhyming free verse...
