She's fallen with a way to fly,
Grounding herself in the sea.
Callow, such a living dream,
She's throwing herself away.
She's got all the looks and all the lift
But refuses to dry her wings.
She's desperately fighting the crashing waves
She lives to feel the struggle.
A final dream comes into play,
An ambient life gone by.
Why such a loss, such a terrible sin
Committed with merciless feeling?
The desinence of beautiful minds
Convey a common thought.
A world so cruel, a world so lost,
Cause some to destroy its grace.

Beautiful
It makes me sad and feel like there is no hope, but i like how you write your words. It is very creative. -
Ok the background against the text is not exactly the best choice as it hurts my eyes.

But anyways, the poem itself is good and I especially like the title. It evokes one's imagination.
Thanks for entering my contest!
Blessings,
