Fly

Do you know that I can fly ?
I have large colorful wings
That can be stretched anytime
Every time that I need a break
When I do not want to see your face
Or when my world is drowning

Do you know that I can fly ?
Great strength is in my wings
So, I can lift you up anytime
Tell you that you need a break
Show you a sympathetic face
Prevent you from drowning

Do you know that I can fly ?
Go anywhere with my wings
Pack up and disappear anytime
Give you an eternal break
Hide my awfully sad face
My poor self is drowning

Desiree great poem!! There are days when I would like to have wings too. They are the times to drive to a quiet spot by myself and read or write.Anne

Sounds like somebody wants to leave badly! Things in life can reach such a point. I hope life will show its sunnier side to you soon. Thanks for sharing and thank you for your kind comment on my poem. Caroline.
