Learned to Fly

How did it come out? I felt inspired

We all feel sad

In our lives 

Yet we think 

That we don't have a reason 

To fight  

We all are afraid

but fear has to go away at some point

We've tried to fly

But we've fell down 

Earth's gravity brought us to reality's crown

Hey

But that doesn't mean

That we were going to stop trying

So we've built and built bridges

To connect our lands and people

with dreams that come in many little things 

 one day

Those things

 became giants

That roam around our world

with such beauty in our world 

We all learn to fly at some point

We are a human race

Full of dreams and realities

WE all have a different story

A different life

No matter who you are 

We've all been through some pretty rough stuff

But we're here 

Alive

Breathing and Alive

Some fight back

Some give up 

We're full of surprises

We fight againts the wind 

That pushes us backwards 

But Like the birds and airplanes

Some day

We......

               Learn........

                                 to.............

                                                     Fly

You really did a fantastic job with making this piece inspiring Lizardo! I love your word usage(not too many lengthy words and right to the point), and the unique format you used to display this piece. The title is great for this piece, and you really wrote some all too true words in this. You're right, we all do fall down at some point, but the only way that we can really learn to fly is by trying, even if we continue to fall down over and over again. I did notice two typos though, nothing too big, "But we've fell down" It should be FALLEN, and this next one is probably nit-picking, We fight againts the wind" You got the "s" and "t" in against mixed up. But these typos don't detract from the quality of the poem at all!

Overall, I say this wonderful, inspiring piece deserves a 95/100. Keep up the fantastic writing, Lizardo! :)

This write was amazing dude!
My favorite part was... "We are a human race
Full of dreams and realities
WE all have a different story
A different life
No matter who you are
We've all been through some pretty rough stuff

Alive
Breathing and Alive"

Lizardo, This is actually a pretty well written piece; the analogy between flying and being alive is carried through really well. Nicely executed, the format is different but very accessible...the only question I have is why the switching of fonts. This piece didn't need any gimmicky font-play, it was fine the way it was. I always believe the old adage, "If it ain't broke don't fix it." A very nice write, well done! take care...dan

[Lizardo]

I wanted to make it unique by the change of style...
Thanks dan! :) I really appreciete it :)

[dan]

You already made it unique by switching up the tab stops. You should not distract the reader from delving into the message of the write by too many gimmicks. Other than that it was very good. dan

Hi Lizardo. Top marks for creative imagery!!! You carried the reader across unspoken expanses of thought as eyes shift to read!!! Loved the poem!! A strong message couched in soft words!!! Amazing the impact that has!!! The change in type helps accentuate your words, though for me, the bolded words (Except for the very last word - FLY were slightly distracting. I personally didn't see need for them to be enhanced, but hey, this is your work, so very well presented, and you strive to express yourself!!! Loved this, my friend!!! alf
