How to Fly
Sing the hit from frozen lips through clenched teeth on a stage made of swollen hips.
Anyone can be a star if they try hard enough.
Swing a hit into the tender ribs of one who sung without conviction.
Not just anyone can make it.
(This is what you get.)
Take it on the chin then grow a pair while squatting in the place you grew up afraid of.
Anyone can get there if they try hard enough.
Cave in on yourself as you realize you've spent your whole life pretending to be someone else.
(Someone you thought you knew.
(Someone you're not.))
Fly a kite painted with the face of the person you've come to be,
then let go of the string.
Stop overthinking it.
