The skies
I was born for them
this I know.
This I feel
yet when I take to flight
my fear overcomes me
and back to ground I go.
This fear
it is so strong in me.
I don't know where it springs from.
I only know
that for me
it is fact.
I watch in envy
as my siblings take to flight
soaring among the stars
and dancing in the moonlight.
How I wish I could be with them.
I know though
that this won't happen
for the stars may call to me
but the ground it holds me
and refuses to let me go.
