Upon the wind I ride
as if more gossamer than air
a drifting soul aloft the clouds
of sorrow and despair
self-inflicted turbulence
from thoughts act like brick walls
hindering progression
but to stop would mean to fall
so higher now I climb upon
an eagle's spread wings
the sky's a road unpaved
yet leads directly to my dreams
and though the sky is clouded
my optimism will not stray
I am a soldier in a battle
fighting for a better day

About this poem:
I went through some very hard times. I wound up with a lot of time on my hands when I wrote this and had so much frustration inside me. Everything seemed bleak and for the longest time I fought for my life and my chance at normalcy. I was staring at grey walls and all I could picture was the sky and where I truly wanted to be in my life. My escapism did not last because my thoughts simply kept leading me back to reality. However, I knew that I would have a chance to redeem myself and build a better reality, and here I am.
