Flocked In

They don’t ever prepare you for when life gets tough to bare It’s something a lot of times one must learn themselves With the pain and loss that I carry, I must not let it weigh these wings down The air rushing against my face reminds me of the invigoration of freedom I am not my past but my future You always look ahead when flying, never back There’s a whole lot of pride I find deep in my soul looking around at myself and the others There’s nothing like feeling I have earned my spot and we could not be whole without me I have a purpose, I am a piece of this flock and we must all work together The perfect V shape as we sharply cut through the sky with our beaks held high
