Swirling, twirling,
In the air;
Spinning round and round.
I am dizzy,
And afraid.
That I'll hit the ground.
I don't know
What to do next;
I wish I'd been taught to fly.
I'd been told
I'd be falling down,
But I want to touch the sky.
But wait!
My wings I can extend,
My panic is no more.
Because I am a newborn bird
Flight is something I can't ignore.
Thoughts form inside my mind
My insinct tells me what to do.
No longer am I falling, flailing,
And I bid the ground adieu.
I soar upwards, to the sky
This revealation still anew.
I have just learned how to fly
And I hope that you will, too.

When we are young, we are like small birds that have just been born. We are awkard, jerky, and have no idea what to make of the world. Suddenly we are pushed out of the nest, our home, and into the world; and we have no idea what to do. However, with the right guidance, we can soar to great heights and accomplish great things. I wish you the best in accomplishing your goals, because although they might be hard, you can make it.

Darkness
PoetryThis collection of poems ranges from bleak to uplifting, but all were written from my own heart. Poetry, like music or any other art, is often best when it comes from the soul...and these poems definitely did.
