There will be times in life when you have no one to wipe your tears except your own trembling hands.

Some days are good
Or I think they really are
I soak up the sun
And reach for the stars
Some days are bad
I suppose they really are
The sun seems too hot
And the stars — too far.

I step up to the edge, the breeze blowing my hair.
I close my eyes and I can see it.
My feet leave the ground as my wings catch the wind.
I’m flying.
But, when I open my eyes, I’m not soaring
and my feet are still on solid ground.
What if I fall?
I can’t risk it, that pain.
I look around and see others fearlessly facing the plunge,
but I remain frozen in place.
Scared.
All I can think is, “What if I fall? What if I fall?”
It’s then, in the midst of my frantic thoughts,
That I hear a still, small voice say,
“Yes, but what if you fly?”

Of all cruel inventions
The bird cage must be of the cruelest
To confine a creature meant to soar
Behind bars, never to reach its full potential
That is cruel indeed

this loneliness creates a halo
making me weak to my marrow
looking for some hands to help
a support to lean on when i yelp
but like all of them he too went
tired of all my emotional vents
so he took off and left me right here
with my confused feelings and tears
so that we can both live and be
in his world i am just a mere liability
thus happily miserable i stay
letting time pass day after day
for i strongly believe that i will say
"hey pal, someday everything will be okay".
things will get better
they always do

I knew I had grown when:
I stopped asking
What do they think of me?
And started to question,
What do I think of them?
