Never did I think the sky could hold so many possibilities
All of the stars give me hope
That tomorrow will be better.
Like a bird I wish to fly
My wings stretching out before the moon
My heart pounding to beat of freedom.
Like long gone wishes mine came true,
Wind streaking my lips
And for moments I was apart of the gust,
I was breathing in the earth.
Now I know that it was no wish
That made me fly,
I was already apart of the wind,
My eyes just couldn’t find
The sky of possibilities.
All of the stars give me hope
That tomorrow will be better.
Like a bird I wish to fly
My wings stretching out before the moon
My heart pounding to beat of freedom.
Like long gone wishes mine came true,
Wind streaking my lips
And for moments I was apart of the gust,
I was breathing in the earth.
Now I know that it was no wish
That made me fly,
I was already apart of the wind,
My eyes just couldn’t find
The sky of possibilities.

I love the shift that happened in the ending, "Now I know that it was no wish." It really guides the poem and ties it back to the beginning but with a different tone!
