This is a poem that really didn't come to me that spontaneously. Even the title took me really long to figure out. My mind was overflowing with so many thoughts and I almost thought that it would be impossible to get it all out on paper. This poem is based on a few incidents from my life where I repeatedly saw my family's fault and felt that others were my real well wishers. But each time when I fell, it was them who actually helped me get back up on my feet. Maybe I still am young to skillfully see through people and their intentions. I don't really blame anybody, for every fall that they caused made me stronger and got me closer to my family. 

Flight

Two steps at once

A leap or two

I'm far from being sad

Done being blue

I'm sweet and young

A bird so free

I leave my cage 

I leave my tree

Fly over each mountain

Taste the breeze

Feel the sunshine

My soul release

Let the rain

Wash my each scar

I realize

I have gone too far.

I see around

Find nowhere to go

My home? My family?

My world goes slow

Darkness approaches

Vultures fly by

I regret having left

I regret having tried.

With my hopes all lost

I cry away

Just then I see

Life coming my way

My family, they were there

They take me back

To warmth and care

What here I did lack.

I realize my sin

Impatience to be free

Before I even knew

What out there could be

I heard my family

Each time since then

I patiently wait

To fly again....
