I Can't Fly


I am reaching for the sky,

And jumping for the stars.

But, I can't firgure out why,

It's always been so hard,

To finally take flight.

I always fall back down,

It's hard to see the light,

When I'm stuck here on the gorund.

Sometimes it seems so hard,

To believe this world is real.

I wanna have a bigger heart,

But I wanna forget how to feel.

I won't ever make it to the stars,

I simply cannot fly.

I'm stuck here chasing cars,

Constantly asking why.
