Come Fly

Internal reflection of a change

Where could I have been
Should have been
When I died
This fire that once burned inside
Set aside
Once I died
I once was you
Thought like you
But then i died
And became anew
To start anew
So glad I died

I gaze, I must, without trust
No deceptive bone
I hold inside
Instead i fly, with wings i fly
Eyes to the sky
Escape this slide
No fingers tied, held without pride
This soul of mine
I let outside
What once was mine, which still is mine
Is yours in time
If you choose to find

Come fly

I liked how you picked up the pace, and I feel must share I think you're still improving which is mind-blowing considering the possibility of how much further you can reach and tap into. I almost wish I haven't read as much as I have because I can keep reading these for hours. And I think that might be the ultimate compliment one can give to a writer, and it's with 100% sincerity and genuine interest. You're fantastic at what you do with your poetry.

You're welcome. Also, I still need to get to your e-book and plan to catch up on your writings. Likely will read the e-book first. Preferably in a peaceful setting without distractions. Will share feedback after I do eventually get to it though. Hope you've been well.

A nice new take on 'Death' and what follows.
Sometimes things have to get worse before they get better.
Or perhaps this is just a way to gain the most from disaster and pain.

Or perhaps I'm wrong alltogether and this rebirth was a joyful occasion free of pain and sorrow.
Either way the poem is well written, good job.

As with any poem, the meaning lies with the reader. Perceive it as what resonates most with you. For me, it's a take on a new life I've been living and the look back. I really appreciate you taking the time to read and leave a review!

Evokes a need to break free, and to be better, though in a melancholy way instead of motivational. I like it!

The line "Though like you" doesn't make too much sense. Was it supposed to be "thought like you"?

Great job!

[LapseOfMind]

I'm glad that you enjoyed it! And yes, it was supposed to be "thought" lol I'll change it. Thank you for reading and catching that for me!
