Stuck

Sitting on my roof top, willing myself to try again Maybe it'll work this time, I think to myself I stand up and think about what I'm going to do Yes, it's worth it, I think I spread my arms open and with one quick breath I jump out into the air I did it! I'm soaring through the sky Leaving all my problems behind Escaping all my fears Higher and higher I rise Until my house is out of sight I won't miss them, any of them And they won't miss me I can be happy now, I think to myself I suddenly wake up, and realize it was all just a dream My hopes that were just lifted up into the sky Fall back down to the ground And I just realized, I'm stuck here.
