**All the world\\\'s a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.**


I tried flying,
but my wings were clipped away.
I tried flying,
it brought me where I am today.
I tried flying,
but you took apart of me away.
I tried flying,
hoping your soul would reflect in me.
I tried flying,
knowing you were becoming weak.
I tried flying,
for the truth I must seek.
I tried flying,
Hoping that all the people were lying
when they told me she needed me because she was dying.
I tried flying,
but I fell to the ground.
I tried flying,
and suddenly I was found.

This is one of my first poems I wrote. It's about how even obstacles in life can make you stronger.
