Make me fly or come with me in the dark

I might have found my wings and did my first tries to fly... but sometimes I get still dragged down by this world...
And with the burden growing it gets harder to fly...


I am a fighter... but sometimes it gets so lonely when you fight on your own...


I am yet fascinated by the dark and still need to get used to the light....


I want you to pick me up or empathise with me and show me I'm not alone. Give me comfort, or strength. Sorrow to cry along with, or perspectives that make me want to fly.
