Analysis of Flight
She looks out
Unable now to fly the easy courses,
Tiptoe on the season's pedestal of doubt,
Aware of how the sunlight spends its best resources
like parts of a world it does not care about.
Unseduced by leaves that feign a lure of golden night,
She stands, defeated, on the source of flight.

About this poem
I had two choices to make in my life at this time. Neither choice would have promoted my well-being. A paralyzing feeling.
