In the tall grasses
I sit
Staring up
At the azure blue sky
When I spy
A red balloon
Floating higher and higher
Into the clouds
And I think to myself,
Wow, it'd be cool
If I could soar away,
Wild and free
Like a balloon.
A few minutes
After the balloon disappears,
I see a plane
Streaking across the sky;
Again I think
It'd be neat
To be a plane
Cuz everyday I'd
Chart off to
Some unknown adventures
Filled with sun, fun and romance
As the plane
Becomes a dot
In the distance horizon,
A sense of
Sadness and disappointment fill me,
You see, I realize
I may never
Be able to fly cuz
I can't get
Off the ground
For worries, fears
And little life crisis
Constantly keep weighing me down,
Keeping me Earth bound.
