the problem
with soaring
is the inevitable landing
effortlessly
flying high
over the world
with only
the clouds as company
it is worse
when the landing
is face first
into a tree
hidden
in mists
right as day
is supposed to break

i have no say
in anything
at any point
told where to go
how to feel
as if it matters
to anyone
pushed
across the chessboard
a pawn
of little consequence
in the larger
overall game
