I Might Dive

Just how I'm feeling :/

Isn't it funny how surrounded by happy faces

and cornered by cozy places

and smothered in endless love

that you can feel so alone?

When did it become desired

to disappear and don't look back

and just melt from life like snow?

But then again, isn't it funny how all by yourself

and solitary in your thoughts with no one to delve

and still, like how you wanted

that you can want someone there?

When did it become desired

to be noticed and loud

and be painted in crazy colors, just because you don't care?

Isn't it funny how you see a bird flying south, all alone

and you wish you could join it?

Isn't it funny, how instead sometimes you want to just fly from home.

With only the sound of your beating wings.

In the crisp fall air,

with the wind lifting me high

sometimes I think I wouldn't make it,

once I got high enough,

I might just dive.

For I'm alone,

but I want to be loud,

but at the same time,

the sound of my wings is too much sound?

To be truly alone, I could never be,

because my thoughts often echo around my skull

and I just need to be free.

Author's Note

Sorry for all the flying poetry :P It's really inspiring to me. A few crows flew from a tree when I was in class yesterday and I couldn't stop staring at them lol

I enjoyed the poem. Would be nice to be free to escape to the sky. Good description allowed the reader to feel the desire of escape. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

That's really awesome. Those thoughts are the best. I would do the same in my classes, always staring out the window. What's the difference between a crow and raven?

[Sophie]

the crow caws, but the raven croaks

[Michael Thrower]

Is there any physical difference?

[Michael Thrower]

This is what Wikipedia is for.

Great poem by the way.

Thanks!
and I think so, I think Ravens are bigger and like... iridescent, like fish scales. They're kind of rainbow... i think lol

[Michael Thrower]

Lol hmmmmmm. Well, I'll go wiki search it xD And no problem!

I really liked this, and I don't mind the flying poetry. In the end it all comes together and expresses what you're feeling and that's all that really matters, right?
