-learning to fly-

before we learn to fly...
we have to learn how use our wings..
how to lift ourselves
no longer dependent on our own 2 feet.

i am trying,
step by step..
afraid of the fall,
afraid to leave the ground...
10 thousand reasons
saying i could flap my wings and fly high
but i needed only one to stay...
one that i know i will never find..

so why?
why the hesitation?
why hold on to something so desolate
why allow myself to be brought down to my knees?
because...
i am human, flesh and soul...
