My Thoughts, the Sky

I've always thought of reaching the sky, 
To live amongst the clouds. 
But no matter how high I rise, 
Gravity pulls me by the neck
I fall back to earth and soil,
Realising that I belong here, 
On the ground. 
Just dreams remain of flight
When I look to the sky's might
Hopelessly, but not out of sight. 
But I guess I'm not meant for the sky
Until I finally wilt away, 
Breaking loose these chains of gravity.
