Learning to Fly

i was flying really high today
this is my third or fourth time
i was having myself a blast
until i suddenly changed my mind

found myself falling
my mind chasing 
a totally different clue
caught myself freely reacting
to which i was a little confused

but the focus of my situation
changed when i hit the ground
the healing pain was burning
my spirit had got shot down

wounded my situation bleak
i stumbled back and forth
my mind a whirl and wondering
why my spirit forgot to soar

more pain and more confusion
know ive been here before
i thought i defined my reality
or have i been seriously misinformed

the trick was in remembering
to be or not to be
was i to live my life
or my life to live me

the choice was mine to make
to suffer the pain no more
to heal the cause and grow
then my heart began to soar

up up and away
into the sky blue
i'd probably fall again
but for now my spirit flew
