Fly by

Who am I To seek to fly Touching the sky Left life behind For peace of mind Wondering Blundering Making my share of mistakes In my mind living the retakes Hard I have I tried Lord knows I have cried The fairy tales all lied Worked my fingers to the bone. Seems I am meant to be alone I'm at fault My heart is a vault Hard to soar Wishing for more But I do So true I want to fly And I try Fear holds me back Dark thoughts on the attack. Maybe faith in myself I lack Refuse to kneel. Do I have the will To go all the way Facing my fears Weighed down by my years My tears Fighting my desire To get lost in that fire Letting myself loose my way Live for today But today is pain Lost in the stain Refusing to give in For I must win Someday Someway I will touch that sky As I fly Past this pain called life Rise above this self made strife I find My own peace of mind Searched so far To find some star When all this time In the words that I rhyme Keeping my feet on the ground I have found That I already can fly Touch that sky Make it mine I will shine Be the light Shine so bright As I make my way To a new day
