Learning to Fly
Where is this –
Hatred coming from
Like fire
Unleashed.
Hatred?
Or –
Envy!
Is it because –
She was made of you.
But dared to reach up
For the branches
And then learned to –
Fly?
While you kept your wings
Tucked underneath
The whole life through.
Only because
You feared
Falling down
Or –
Was your fear greater
That of succeeding to –
fly?

well nice but you are still so young and the stronger you build your wings you will fly more free and higher. no need to be jealous just to go there if it is your dream.
ReplyDeleteAgain, this is a poem and the reader has to keep in mind that the speaker in the poem is a different persona than the poet. The reader must never assum that the "I" in the poem is the poet. (Or the "she" )
