You Fly
Your heart breaks, you feel everything and nothing all at the same time. Food no longer has taste, water upon your lips is nothing but dust. Your eyes see but there is no light. You linger on a plane of not knowing which way is up, which way is down, or the left or the right. Your mind races and stales. Your body feels hot and cold.
You lay there and wait. You lay there and think. Memories are all you see and hear, every laughter and every tear. Your shell is thin and cracked. You think how much longer.
You slip away into a veil of self protection. Wrapping yourself in tightly. You focus and you grow. You find your pack. You engage, you ask questions, you learn.
You trust, you smile, you fight, you get dirty, you scream, and you become everything you want to be.
Then you fly- you dare fly as high as the sun with the possibility of burning and you dive down with the possibility of drowning. You take that chance. No longer holding yourself back.
