I Dare

You dare to dream,
A dream to fly
Your heart still screams,
To touch the sky.

Work hard for what you want,
Said someone, somewhere once
worked on it, like a chant
Happiness it's way into life, danced.

You spend your life, all adored,
Waiting to touch your feet, ashore
You keep aspiring, hardly bored,
You feel opportunities approaching your door.

You then grow, into a beautiful lass,
They slowly turn you into living ash
They lock you in and harrass
Life's decisions all get taken up, so rash.

Day by day, in darkness you pass,
They pull you down and crush your heart
Born to fly but Doomed to stick to ground, alas!
Secretly clipping your wings, they break your soul apart.
