To Fly
March 19, 2016
My dream is to fly,
To fly high and never look back.
To soar into the sky,
And let out a joyous cry.
I take a running start,
Before I depart.
I part with a smile,
And say “I’ll be back in a while”
But a while later,
I stumble into a crater.
A crater filled with memories,
That will soon be lost stories.
I stand there quietly,
Slowly filling up with anxiety.
My dream is to fly,
But I would have to say goodbye.
