Goodbye Time To Fly

I know now
That I must fly
But I got to get thru 
A needle's eye
It’s going to be tight
But I must try
If I’m ever going to get to fly

Some say 
Just get by
Take it easy
So you won’t die
It’s very hard 
But if you must try
Squeezing thru a needle's eye

I don’t
Know just why
Can’t let it be
Or even try
To understand
When you can’t fly 
The pain of the other guy

And that
I must fly
And get thru 
A needle's eye
It’s going to be hard
But I think it’s time
To say goodbye and fly

Quite a fan of the short lines and lots of rhymes. There are so many ways it could be applied by the reader, too.

It is well written with cleaver imagery and powerful emotions that whisper their feelings off the page and into your heart. Emile.
