• I always
    Kew I was
    Different.
    Everyone was
    So energetic
    And only cared
    About themselves.
    I was quiet.
    Calm.
    Cared about everything.
    But there was
    Another thing.
    Something big.
    It set me
    apart from
    the world.
    I had
    Wings!
    Soft
    White
    Angel wings.
    I always
    Hid them
    Under my
    Sweater.
    The other
    Kids,
    They wouldn't
    Understand.
    They'd think
    I was a
    Freak.
    I even hid
    Them from
    My family.
    I was
    Affraid
    That they would
    Not understand
    Either.
    One day,
    All the kids
    In school
    Surounded me
    In the courtyard.
    The began
    Chanting
    "Freak! Freak!
    You're a Freak!"
    I stood there.
    Surounded
    By all the kids
    In my
    Highschool.
    For years,
    I was treated
    This way.
    Then,
    A voice
    Called to
    Me.
    "Come, child.
    Be free of
    Theese people"
    I looked up.
    There was
    A whole
    In the
    Overcast.
    Like the
    Eye of a storm.
    Light
    Poured out of it.
    Surounding
    Me.
    Filling me
    With a
    Strange feeling...
    Hope.
    Without a
    Moments
    Hesitation,
    I dropped my
    Books on
    the ground.
    I shed my
    Sweater
    Like an
    Old skin.
    And spread
    My wings.
    The very wings
    I had spent
    My life
    Hidding from
    The world.
    The chanting
    Stopped.
    I closed
    My eyes.
    With a smile,
    I said softly
    "Good-bye
    My friends.
    I hope you all
    Live long, good
    Lives"
    Then,
    I jumped
    Into the air.
    And I began
    To fly
    Toward my
    New home.
    Toward...
    Heaven.
    I wasn't scared.
    I felt...
    For the fist time,
    In a long time,
    Free.
    I flew
    Higher
    And higher,
    And higher.
    I reached
    The cloud.
    There,
    A hand
    Reached out
    To me.
    I grabbed it.
    And finally,
    After so long,
    I was home.
    Away from
    School
    My family
    The world.
    I was
    In heaven.
    Where I
    shall stay,
    And forever
    And Always...
    Be at peace.
