I want to learn how to fly.
Be the one to touch the sky,
to travel to the world’s wide edge,
place my feet just over the ledge,
Of insanity.

The author's comments:
I don't think I'm the only one in the world who wishes they could fly. To fly, to touch the sky, to travel to the world's edge are all things that are deemed impossible in the literal sense, but I believe all these things can be achieved figuratively.
