Only Wanted to Fly
Please understand…
I only wanted to fly.
I didn’t mean to hurt those that I held dear.
I didn’t think of what this meant for them.
I didn’t think of what my flight meant –
Only that I would be free for that final instant
Before I touched the ground again.
I was selfish and self consumed.
But I only wanted to fly.
And fly I did.
Oh, and it was glorious!
The wind in my hair,
Stinging my eyes and cheeks –
Drawing tears –
Tears that stung with acrid bitterness
Because I knew, even then, what I was leaving behind.
But, although my thoughts were filled with you,
And my heart clenched at the pain,
As I flung myself off of the cliff,
Careening towards the rushing river at the bottom –
As I flung myself from reality and sanity,
And all that those ideas entailed,
I pictured you in my mind’s eye.
As I fell, I laughed the whole way down
Because, in that split second, I had really started flying.

Nice one, in the beginning I felt like it was a story you were telling, but the flow caught up and swept me off my feet ^^. I like the way how you bring your feelings to expression. Good job
