The Ability to Fly

By Emelia C

Flying.

Birds are able to do it,

But why aren’t we?

Why aren’t we able to be free?

Why are we stuck with our boring,

Normal lives?

I think it is because we are hindered to these boring,

Normal lives.

We believe that our sins are too strong.

We believe that what we have done in the past decides what we can do in the future.

But,

These beliefs are wrong.

Sins that were made in the past,

Sins that happened yesterday.

Sins that are behind us,

Are back there for a reason.

We remember what we did wrong,

And forget what we did right!

We forget the choices that made us proud,

The things which made us joyful.

They are lost because the pain was too great.

But it is not the person’s fault their guilt causes them to forget.

Society has taught us to keep good things to the side and only focus on the bad.

Don’t share things that make you happy,

Because not everyone cares.

Share things that are troublesome,

Because they draw attention that will ‘help’ you.

This is why everyone is hindered and stuck with their boring,

Normal lives.

I think that society should say the opposite.

Share what you did today that brought you joy.

Who cares if people don’t notice or listen?

This is something you are grateful for!

People should be taught that we can fly.

We just have to accept that not everyone will listen,

That there will be haters and demons,

It will be hard.

But everyone has the ability to fly.

Just only if they say,

Nothing will hinder my wings.
