I once had a dream
That I could fly away from here
And as impossible as it may seem
I think it's time to make that leap
Here I stand on the edge
Of this bridge above water
I close my eyes, take a step
I pummel down to my death
But as I open my eyes
Spread my arms wide open
I stop falling toward my demise
And I begin to fly, fly, fly..
I don't usually like poems that don't rhyme but this was great. Everything flowed and the subject was perfect. Flying is something I think about all the time. Nicely done!

My eyes stung with tears
And my hands wouldn't stop shaking
I asked myself in the mirror
Is this risk worth taking?
I slammed down my fist
Onto the edge of the sink
If insanity was obtainable
Then I was definitely on the brink
I'd been lying to everyone
Myself included in that
But this was the day
I was done being a doormat
Deciding I'd had enough
Of this poor pity parade
It was time to tell my parents
And stop my life of charades
My mother and dad
Were watching TV
And I visibly cringed
At the godawful movie
I walked between them
Pressing pause on the remote
Praying one last time to God
They wouldn't think this was a joke
I've been lying to myself
For forever and a day
And a weight was lifted off my chest
When I uttered the words "Mom, dad, I'm gay."
THIS. I love it to put it plainly. You have no idea how hard it was to choose whether it would get first or second place. I really felt my emotions rise and fall with this poem. Beautifully done.

| Impossibilities |
You can't do it
You'll fail miserably
Might as well quit,
you won't succeed
But I can do it
Why can't you see?
I'm not going to quit
Cause I can succeed
You've got to be joking
You'd be pinned
Just stop trying
you'll never win
No, I'm not kidding
I am dead serious
I won't stop going
Persevere, I can triumph
You're too weak
to even do that
Your fragile teeth
would really crack
Everyone starts
off undeniably frail
before becoming strong
If I try, I'll prevail
Your end is near
you should drop out
before you tear
up real loud
An ending is just
an excuse for a beginning
Eventually, I will triumph,
no need to be quitting
It's impossible
Don't you see?
You aren't able
to succeed
Impossiblility is actually
I'mpossibilities, I swear
Don't you even see?
I'mpossibilities everywhere
Beautiful. I don't know what else to say! I especially love the note it ended on. Because its SO true. Their are impossibilities everywhere but we still seem to face them down. Congrats on first place!
