It started as a spark;
A feather that I found.
Then it grew bolts,
gadgets, and wheels
Connected by wires
And hollowed out bones.
Soon the turned into wings
Crafted from gold.


I tried to hide them,
I did,
But the grew much to large.
I had to jump off cliff and glide
Towards the sun.
I knew I needed to have fun,
because soon my wings would disappear,
And i would fall to the ground once more.
Then I would need to find them again . . .


But that shouldn't be too difficult.

This about when you're really happy and you just really need to show it. Never be scared of showing your true emotions; your feelings seperate you from everyone else!
