Flying Above My Fear


Flying high above the clouds

There is no need to wait in crowds

Above everything else there is quiet

You don’t hear a sound, not even a riot

 

This is something I never thought I would do

Going on an airplane shows that I grew

At first I was afraid of everything below

The only hard part was going in the air though

 

I hated the feeling of leaving the ground

Every time it felt like I was going to drown

While my heart beated a little faster

All I could think about was a disaster

 

Once in the air things improved

The horror in my eyes diffused

I got over my fear in this moment

Finally I defeated my toughest opponent
