I was flying,

I was soaring.

My wings were spread wide.

I was happy,

I was healthy.

My heart was overflowing.

You smiled at my jokes,

But grimaced when I turned.

You laughed with me as I tripped,

But laughed at me with your friends.

You made me feel like I was flying,

When really I was falling.

I was high in the sky,

Flying through the clouds,

But then I hit the ground,

And realized that flying and falling,

Feel exactly the same.
