Soaring like the Gods

The Gods have touched the skies
Why can’t I too?
A dream to soar,
With the likes of Zeus and Pluto

Some have told me,
My dreams are too big
Others said I never would
One day they’ll see,
I’ll throw it back in their face

The Gods have touched the skies,
I’ll be soaring one day too
With my wings of freedom
And mind of reality

Every “No you can’t”
Gets a response of “Yes I can”
Every rejection and denial
I will take in stride

As I stride with pride,
My feet leave the ground,
I’m soaring now,
I’ll never return

No one will bring me down,
I am my own person
No stone will hit this bird,
No winter solstice will hinder my flight

I showed them all,
What a determined mind can do
They said I wouldn’t
That I couldn’t
Soar like the Gods,
In a sea of blue

Well, look at me now
I’m soaring above,
My dreams, a vivid reality
As I leave this place behind,
And start a life of my own

Wonderful! I love the "can do" attitude in this piece.
