Please Don't Shoot Me Down

Something I wrote on a bus while listening to a Lil Wayne song of the same name.

Please don't shoot me down,
Cause I'm flying.
Not quite,
But I'm trying.
And every pain filled step
And tear that I'm crying,
Is supplying my pen
With these words that narrate
My life till the end,
And then?

Then i'mma spread my wings
and fly through the ages,
with every beat of my wings
A word on these pages.
But until I come to rest,
With your heart as my nest,
And fold my wings to the warmth of your chest,
Baby please don't shoot me down...
