Literature Text

we look up at the stars in the sky
wishing we were among them but;

still we find forever is too long
for our frail flesh bodies and we
can't find the cure to ourselves.

she tells me we are birds and
the heavens are ours, but I look
down at the dirt (we are
creatures of the dust - this is all we have) and
know it's all a lie for children

still we try and dream
together and still I remain
a wingless bird
that can never take flight.
