Fly Away
January 2011 (9th Grade)

Why so serious?
Pick up your wings,
and fly.
Kick your feet off the ground,
and turn your eyes to the sun.
You will not be outshined.

Why let storm clouds get in your way?
It's a new day,
so smile.
Avoid the shadows,
if only for a little while.
The skeletons in the closet are buried.

Why dwell on the past?
The future is in your palms,
so take it.
Let yourself get lost in the wind,
and don't regret it.
The moment belongs to you.

Why are you still standing there?
Lift up your arms,
and go!
You know you're on top,
because heaven is just below you.
You made it.
