I think Adam was a quiet boy,
more reserved than most.
He sat alone in the schoolyard corner
but I don't think he cared.
He'd watch the birds and wish that he
too had wings to fly.
He'd watch the clouds and shadowed sun
and know each breeze by heart.
I know Adam was an aloof teen
keeping to himself.
He dreamt his dreams and none of us
could follow where he went.
He was not sad but sometimes
he'd stand by the edge of the cliffs;
feeling the wind in his hair,
I think he believed he would soar.
I saw Adam as a man, hungering after life.
He slaked that thirst, as men oft do,
with women, wine and wonders,
but it was not enough.
So he left for countries far
and closer to the sky.
Though I know not where he went,
and don't, in all truth, care
I think Adam took to the skies
for he had no place here.

I don't know where this came from, but this is the Adam I see in my mind. Damn I'm miserable, lol.

You're about as miserable as me lol
Don't worry I write this way all the time
I loved this. Adam was a dreamer, and he would do anything he can to achieve life
Thank you for entering and good luck in the contest

i REALLY, REAAAAALLY like your poem!! Especially the beginning because that's what I can relate to. It all flows wonderfully, but when you get to the end it just comes to a halt all of a sudden, as if there was some important piece cut off
