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
