"She belonged somewhere. She needed to find out.Needed to overcome her fears,fight the darkness,to be a true friend. She wanted to fly. To reach the skies.To be fearless.To be different."

 

As she stepped into the dark corridors,

All she brought with her was a weak heart and a wandering soul.

The thirst to know where she belonged.

Only if she could find herself,

within the crowd that came along.

Years ago,she found herself staring at this very crowd,

as they ran free,free like a bird.

The fearless expression each carried,

bravely down the streets.

She wished to be one of them.

But now that she could,

She asked herself,"Is this where I belong?"

Only she herself could answer to this riddle.

As she walked in ,ignoring the giggles,

thinking if she could blend in.

Decided to overcome her fears and fight the tears.

She heard her name in cheers.

The weak heart wasn't weak anymore.

The fears were no more.

She walked out of the brightly lit corridors,

carrying the fearless expression.

Running down the streets free,free like a bird.

Very good Solasta. I enjoyed ready your poem it ran at an even pace picking up steam to the very end " free as a bird." Excellent.
