To Fly Away

To Fly Away

A Poem by Jennifer P

It is in moments like these
that I could close my eyes
And imagine of all creatures, I should be an eagle
One to soar high
With nothing More than the wind
Beneath my wings...

 

Close your eyes and fly with me...

 

Please do not expect anything of me
I am not in a position to make promises
I have been searching for something
What? I don’t exactly know
Peace, love, happiness, safety maybe
Perhaps freedom to be wild and crazy

 

In the past years I have been
Beaten by life
Scars of love have left me empty
Lies opened my heart
And those who never gave a damn used it
They are fools, for they don’t realize
How much I can give

 

I’ve looked for someone to save me
Save me from this pain
Can a broken heart be mended
Yet, maybe I am scaring you
I expect nothing

 

If I should die before I wake
Let me wake as an eagle
Just to fly high above everyone and everything
To escape and be free...

 

Respect him for he is a proud, strong bird
He is free...


watch me...

 

Look up

 

If wishes come true...
