Shoot for the skies

I felt inspiration this morning.

There is a reason we cannot fly.

We may dream of it,

                             outstretched limbs 

                                                               to the outstretched sky

leaving the stench of failure behind.

Pay no mind to the muddy grey skies

that do not rain for you glory and pride.

For a reason, we were born without wings

but with potential and values fit for a King.

When you're famous, don't thank the Heavens that sing,

for it twas your light that never died

and if you reach the top

before the world stops

you are a superhero

with an endless glow.

I find this poem very motivating.
(and if you reach the top before the world stops you are a superhero).this line is true.

Thank you, both!

no Michael, it's meant to be "you" not "your"... like in terms of raining for you, not raining for your.
But thank you! gives me hope :D

Very inspirational write. I enjoyed reading it a lot. It has a very good flow to it.
In line #8, that do not rain for you glory and pride...."your" instead of "you?"
I look forward to reading more of your work.
