How can i fly?
March 8, 2012
How can i fly,
when the world holds me down
When all of this violence,
threatens to drown
the hope of my people
the earth that i love
How can i fly,
When there is no above?

This really IS emotional and is relatable to the desires we have to break away from the agony the earth throws at us.

This doesn't seem to have too much emotion but it has rhyme(which I am partial to)and it has a good message and question. Its 3 stars.
