New Heights

I've ran until the end of time, 

until my feet were searing with pain. 

Until blisters threatened my fate,

and cuts wounded my dwindling hate.

And now I'm panting roughly,

and I can't catch my breath fast enough,

a feeling of inevitable doubt

is still cuffing me back from life.

Not just once have I thought,

about soaring through the sky.

Yearning for feathers,

to stretch elegantly from my arms.

While I watch flocks of gulls,

cut the air's silent treatment,

I think of how us humans,

can be numb to unheard emotions.

I want to be something more.

Something intricately abstract;

a view no one will ignore,

a voice never to be intact.

Only you can define yourself,

you're unique in every possible way.

You're original in my eyes,

You'll always be nothing more-nothing less.

So I stand here panting, 

running away from life.

Leaving fresh trials behind me,

reaching new heights..
