Christian Collins Poet Rhyme

The Ledge

I climbed out onto the ledge and looked down

I’ll never fly I thought to myself with a frown

I had always wanted to, always thought I could

But something inside me said I never would

Day after day I walked the ledge in hopes of flight

Dreaming of the day where if I tried hard enough I just might

One special day not long ago I met a man

An angel perhaps, he believed in me, said yes you can

I was scared, so very scared because I thought he was wrong

I had never flown before and as such I just didn’t belong

He filled me with confidence and took away my fears

I was feeling things, myself that I had not felt in years

He took me to the ledge and said that something had begun anew

I closed my eyes and from behind he pushed me and ….I flew
