Learned to Fly

Learned to Fly

A Poem by Lizardo
"

How did it come out? I felt inspired

"



We all feel sad
In our lives 
Yet we think 
That we don't have a reason 
To fight  

We all are afraid
but fear has to go away at some point
We've tried to fly
But we've fell down 
Earth's gravity brought us to reality's crown

Hey
But that doesn't mean
That we were going to stop trying
So we've built and built bridges
To connect our lands and people
with dreams that come in many little things 
 one day
Those things
 became giants
That roam around our world
with such beauty in our world 

We all learn to fly at some point

We are a human race
Full of dreams and realities
WE all have a different story
A different life
No matter who you are 
We've all been through some pretty rough stuff
But we're here 
Alive
Breathing and Alive

Some fight back
Some give up 
We're full of surprises
We fight againts the wind 
That pushes us backwards 
But Like the birds and airplanes
Some day


We......
               Learn........
                                 to.............
                                                     Fly

Wonderful use of unconventional layout, Lizardo--this is certainly a poem that belongs to the wind! You might not need the ellipses at the end. Because of your spacing the words are read with pauses anyway, the form punctuates itself. Great write, man!

Very nice and I like it all the way through. I will mention one place I would like a change, but understand your poem is your poem and if you receive suggestions, only go with them it they feel right.

We've tried to fly
But we've fell down

We've tried to fly
But we fell down

It would change your word count per line if that is you issue, but have fun that's what it's about.
Keep up the good work. Thank you for sharing a wonderful view of achievement and goals in life.

Lizardo, it was a great poem without the funky format! The picture fit the poem well. I think that the format is very distracting and destructive to a beautiful effort. But, I am just 1 small voice among many!

It's really awesome...... but the fact is we never learn to fly, it's our thoughts and views which become so broad so they look like flying making us lighter....
Very great job lizardo it's really a wonderful poem

i am not sure if fear ever really goes away...but i think we learn how to cope with it...go after what we want anyway...maturity happens when don't let fear rule us..and then life can be full of surprises...all we have to do is let it happen...

Lizardo: It sparkles and shines: uplifting and encouraging, and so very true. Some people give up, grieve and forget to believe and one day, they make the choice to fight or die...your observations about human nature is inciteful. I like the metaphors too, the image of a bird in flight, the freedom above all the world's problems without worries. Great writing, and the layout is attractive and gives the reader time to pause: I really enjoyed it. Like Tom Petty said, I learning to Fly...but I 'aight got winds, coming down is the hardest thing. Great work Lizardo. thank you so very much. Dale
