well, uh... there's not much to say about this thing. it was a class assignment, but i've altered it and fixed it up a bit, and it was supposed to be read at litfest. i don't know if there wasn't enough time or if it just wasn't good enough. so i'm not too happy with it. please give your opinion on it, it would do a lot of good for my self-esteem. please?...

Fly Away…

 

I look into the sky above,

Far out of reach, there flies a dove.

And looking to the clouds, I cry,

A human being, I cannot fly.

I’m running swiftly with the wind,

My wish to fly is not a sin.

A precipice ahead of me,

An endless pit, too dark to see.

To wide a jump, too far a fall.

For help, I wouldn’t dare to call.

I leap into the empty air,

I’m falling fast, but I don’t care.

A frightening and deadly drop,

My breathing quickens…

Then it stops.

No longer trapped within my dreams,

I rise to fly on silver wings.
