• My hope is strong
    I am determined to finish and win
    It's all stored in,
    and I use it when i need it.

    When I am close to success,
    My hope soars like a bird
    I flap and flap
    yet, no one is cheering me on

    My feathers are as heavy as bricks
    the force of the earth is against me
    but i unconsciously soar through the sky
    my body going against my will

    The day is hot
    The suns rays beat down on me
    if it had hands,
    it would be pushing me down

    The night is cold and chilly.
    The cold like needles in my feathers.
    They slice and pierce
    Painful, yet it awakes my spirit

    Eventually, I go to rest
    so i can eat and drink.
    To gain energy
    So i can go on

    Everything seems to be my enemy
    who i thought friends.. enemies.
    What did I do wrong?
    Did I lie? Cheat? Steal? No.
    I am an innocent little child
    as sweet as i can be
    but remember
    others look at you in different ways.

    My hope and determination carry me on
    Eventually, I slowly descend from the angelic skies, where freedom lies.
    and I roost on the trees.

    Finally, my trip comes to an end.
    Freedom is gone. I am trapped in what do you call, a home
    It is nice, but I do not belong here.
    I belong in the skies where I have freedom.
    Where I let myself fly against my will
    Carrying me on, even though I am weak.
    Now, I have the energy, hope and determination,
    but I have no flight path.
