"Grounded" By: Karina Garcia

Grounded and Wanting to Fly

Day after Day I continuously try

My Wings feel clipped at my finger tips

Grounded and Wanting to Fly

I sit and look up at the sky

And I continuously try

I need to reach high

Just high enough so I can take flight and once again see the light

So my wings can shine bright and be a beautiful sight when I take flight

As I sit and look up at the sky

I wonder why I cannot fly

Although I continuously try

Some days I even cry

Of how hard I try

As there was once a time

When I could always fly

Without even having to try

Yet that was before we said goodbye

My wings feel clipped at my finger tips

As I can no longer feel your lips

Nor your hands on my hips as you so tightly used to grip

Now instead I'm grounded

And my wings feel clipped at my finger tips

I'm just dumfounded

As it is with much love that I am surrounded

Yet I let you make me feel grounded and wanting to fly

And all I can do is cry

And I ask myself "WHY?"

Again I sit and look up at the sky

But this time I'm not wondering why

And I will not cry

My tears will dry

So I can once again fly and soar high

Because this time I will reach the sky so high when I take flight; and

Once again I will see the light

My wings will shine so bright

It will again be a beautiful sight

As I can once again take flight
