Before I Fly

selfstruggles

If this be the last night before I fly
Let it be said that I cried, that I tried.
To live a life proud of a noble son
With out a shroud to cover my shameful run.
Didn’t want to be that guy who just got by
To toil then turn, lay down and die?
I wanted to fly, wanted to try, wanted to reach the stars,
Lasso the moon and sail past mars!
To see the world as a distant speck
To leave a life long bound to shipwreck.
To wrestle these woes and a bleeding heart
Pleading for mercy and a jump start
To reboot, renew, and live smart
To spin worlds from words and spit art!
To be heard, to hear, and just be there
Mind opened, full sight, completely aware!
Yet as I now rest my weary head
And a million times these words are read
Oh this be the hour that illuminated sky
Oh this be the last night before I fly!

I like the opening stanza: "If this be the last night before I fly/ Let it be said that I cried, that I tried/ To live a life proud of a noble son/ With out a shroud to cover my shameful run"
Amazing.
