Fall Down Fledgling

She wakes up
in the morning
for the sunrise
just to see it
fall down

come night

She is quartering
her dreams
and false hopes
upon a ship
called unreality

She, the girl
who has everything
parents like birds

regurgitating
things like
          dollars & cents
          cars  & a house
          education
          a no struggle future
into her pockets

Parent like undying
hearts who love
her unconditionally
giving her
a world ureal

to most people

Parents who have
given her
the stars

and the moon
                
She doesn't fear
being the fall
down fledging

not when she
has parents
like parachutes

She, the girl
who has
everything hangs
                    
onto emotional words
that reveal
a secret

that swells
like an eagre
in her heart

an ocean
overflowing
with letters that
spell truth

one can have
everything
and still have nothing
                       
important but
the nauseant
silver spoon taste    
                     
which doesn't satisfy
the need to share
her heart
she'll trade

the taste
to have
it all

Even a fall down                            
fledgling                                    
can learn to Fly                 

with her own heart…
