Soar and Roar

SOAR AND ROAR Dreams a plenty Dreams to soar Soar sky high Soar like eagle Eagle with wings Eagle with sharp eyes Eyes so sad Eyes red swollen Swollen and round Swollen but focused Focused on ahead Focused high up Up to the sky Up and higher Higher on gold Higher on happiness Happiness is precious Happiness is elusive Elusive to her Elusive on empty stomach Stomach rumbles Stomach always empty Empty barren life Empty never full Full of tears Full of fear Fear unknown Fear that engulfs Engulfs her whole Engulfs her dreams Dreams her all Dreams her life Life down under Life in tatters Tatters hide skin Tatters barely cover Cover black sin Cover her modesty Modesty false pride Modesty means nothing Nothing beats it Nothing surpasses Surpasses those dreams Surpasses that desire Desire to rise Desire to roar Roar not whisper Roar not whimper Whimper Whisper

I like how you played with words in this piece. I like "higher on gold".
