Why She Didn't Fly

What people didn't see was that

She could have been free but the

Concrete didn't budge and she

Forgot to spread her wings

What people didn't get was that

When she jumped she meant to soar

But doubt slipped in to scream and roar

And she forgot to spread to her wings

That is why she didn't fly

Otherwise she would of made it

That, I know for sure

She had finally found escape

After forever looking for

She hadn't made a big fuss

Didn't want the attention

Even if she had

The ones who mattered

They never knew

They hadn't seen the news

But they wouldn't have realized

But I will still remember

I won't make the same mistake

Concrete is solid

And wings cannot support you

Unless you spread them out

I will always remember

Why she didn't fly
