Fear of Flying

Fear of Flying

Written by Krissie

Always watching from the sidelines

Never the one at play

The quietest child on the class

With never much to say

Remember as you were growing

Those groups of laughing girls?

No smiles in your direction

You watched afraid, to give life a whirl

And growing up was hard

With no friend by your side

A wall was a good place to lean on

And somewhere you could hide

Always standing in the shadows

And never in the light

Giving up the battle

Without putting up a fight

So in quiet despair

Life slowly passed you by

In wasted years, when the person inside you

Never bothered to question why

Perhaps it was just a fear of flying

Of having to leave the ground

As going up was easy

Just much harder coming down.
