I Dream To Fly

Why would I stay? Why would I fight? I can't find my way I lost it out of sight The little girl on that old photograph danced and twirled fell down and laughed They say it's me I close my eyes in disbelief I shake my head I can't be recognized not even slight I seem so happy so strong and carefree But that's in the past it will never come back for my smile didn't last and now everything's dark It's irrelevant it doesn't matter This isn't Wonderland and things won't get better So listen to me hear what I say I'm gonna be free in the wind I will sway I know what to do it won't take too long I'm holding the blade and sing one last song My veins have been slit the floor's turning red There's no sign of pain I can't feel a bit Alone in my room whilst waiting for death I look at the moon as I take my last breath Now I'm gone floating in the stratosphere letting go and moving on of what was once and what's to be I had to go and say goodbye I had to die so I could fly

No life is not a wonderland. But there are wonderful experiences that have us take flight in a sense, not ready for the final flight yet. Impressive pen. I'm still sorta new myself...welcome to poetry soup!

Nina,, Welcome to Poetry soup I hope you enjoy the community. You'll find friendly poets who are ready to support and give positive feedback. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Other than that I will read, enjoy and comment with positive feedback. Remember, keep posting, stay in touch, TAP my shoulder when you have a new poem. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. You might find my support addictive. I've been a SOUP Poet for 6 years. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. I'm from Texas, How about you? Tell me a little about your poetic skills. I will enjoy following you and your poetry :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
