Poem
Standing on a tower, more than three hundred feet She was watching a movie of her life, in her head, as tears fall, and she tries to smile She spread her arms like wings Tears still falling, but she wants to fly She closes her eyes, and held her head high Should have known better, her expectations too high She's someone with two legs but can't stand on her feet She may have been breathing, but she did not have life She's undead blend with living, greet them with a fake smile. And at night when she breaks, she would grasp for her wings She forgot she was human, and therefore cannot fly. How she wanted to fly! More than thousand feet high Never walk on her feet And explore her whole life Maybe then she could smile She would look for those wings She'd been hoping for wings For she wanted to fly She wanted to be happy, like she's on sugar high Like someone lift her up, and swept her off of her feet How she long for it! She wanted that her whole life She just wanted to be happy, she just wanted to smile. But it takes all her strength, just to muster one smile For all that's left was a set of broken wings Never better than angels, even worse than a fly. Always falls at the bottom, and no chance to get high Always stuck on the ground, with her two broken feet She was tired of these things, she was tired of this life There was no one out there who cares for her life But she tried to be strong, while she wear a fake smile She cried out for help, but they pulled out her wings Screaming "Girl, you are human, and therefore cannot fly!" She know it herself, but is it bad to aim high? "I will show them," she says, as she ran on her feet Life, now hanging on a tower, more than three hundred feet She wears a real smile while she stood way up high Spread her arms just like wings, took off--- and fly.
