Where the Heart Is

like a bird in the sky 
that has just learned how to fly
praying that this isn't the day that i die

i feel like like i own it all
if i had known what was beyond that wall
i would have belted up and each of those times and stood tall

the view from up here is amazing
all those times like an invalid relearning
the fear,regret,shame never ending

it doesn't matter for i am in this moment
what i had forgotten in all that torment
and  never will i repent

you might know who i am and where i am from
but no one knows how far i have come
and no one will stop me, i am going home

This is wonderful. Enjoy the view and be careful. Don't fly too close to the sun like Icarus, the son of Daedalus. The images in this poem are excellent. Welcome to Poetry Soup and keep writing. Great job! Joseph
