Take Flight Poem
The world looks so different from above.
Trust me, I have seen it.
Everything shrinks and the problems along with it.
Freed for the moment until I return to the ground.
The best solution for escape.
The ability to go where others cannot.
***
It is a shame that I rarely see that view while awake.
Gravity and reality have always been my worst foes.
The best solution always exists in imagination.
I long to take flight.
Do what improves my life and frees me.
In the end, all I really wanted was an escape.
***
I must make like Daedalus.
Fashion my own wings from what is available to me.
Melted to shape with the wax of my hopes.
I just pray that I never fall.
Hitting a final dead end I never dreamt of in advance.
It is so hard to collect the feathers again in order to heal.
