Flying Away

Looking into stony eyes, knowing well, what inside lies. As I feel you, my soul dies. Created by tears, ripped from my eyes is the river you flow down, the river of lies. You found a believer. -converted to receiver- -your perfect achiever- -you lost your believer- Only beaten down, Now the pain receiver. Slowly do I crawl along the banks nearby, still filled with song. I now see, my happiness does not to me belong; Instead, 'tis carried off by you, to take along, anywhere you wish. I go! I wonder why you wish me down? Why do you wish this silence upon my loving heart's song? Slowly do I walk on by. Giving, until my last breath, all hope and try, simply loving 'till the day I die. The reason I’m always weighed down … While I dream of a smile … And although, I try to fly. Your gravity just passes by. And it takes all that I have left, to pick my head up. I’m left without the desire to try, not for you, when I'm afraid to die This struggle kills my soul. I know you’ll never leave me whole. My senses are left dull. "My God this hurts! My poor, fading, torn up soul." Though tough this place may be, I’m destined to break through! I'll do what must be done. Always with my head kept up. Living, Loving, and Learning as my world becomes more whole. Always “forward“, my new word. Now a free bird, no more thoughts of the absurd, no more ideas, hush, not another word. Just fly to the top. I'm on my way up! So now just watch as I fly away. Into the endless blue stretch of beauty above I soar. Just watch me fly away - this beautiful free bird.
