I Wish I Could Fly

I wish I could fly
High up in the sky
It would be like I am set free
As swift as I could be
The wind would caress my face
I'd move forward in pace
Goals in my mind, zest in the heart
Looking at the world as a piece of art
It's progress, it's success
It's music, it makes me fearless.

From heights, now I see the world
I see it from a new angle
The farthest things now I see
Evil stands proud, good is on its knees
I realise how humankind is
How the living live, how fast they cease
Also, it shows me masks people wear
To show themselves like they care.

"The world is pretty ugly," I thought
I'm confused if I should land or not
I got the bird's eye view
Now I know the ugly truth
I know what's fake and what's real
Now I'm not sure how I feel.
