What About Flying

today i learned to fly even without feathers i took to the sky and i had no way of knowing how to land i took the leap as some might say a leap of hope for another day and that the grass is truly greener on the other side and that there are places deeper than any man can dive where creatures still manage to breathe and live lightless while were up in the sun but don't know what life is and wondering what we would do with a life while more and more keep walking on by slowly at first but tis an avalanche you see for it quickly starts picking up speed and memories and jobs and things gone unnoticed and it hits you one day like a camera into focus vie vaste my life. but its not too late clearly by the way you are reading today theres a chance for you still a chance to survive just take the veil off of your eyes and then only then can you learn to fly at least thats what they say when you ask them how to do it if you would have asked me id say theres nothing to it
