(this is a poem i heard from a cartoon called 'as told by ginger'.i think this is nice, so i had it in here)

she chose to walk alone
though others wondered why
refused to look before her
kept eyes cast upwards
towards the sky.

she didn't have companions
no need for earthly things
only wanted freedom
from what she felt were
puppet strings.

she longed to be a bird
that she might fly away
she pitied every blade of grass
for planted they would stay

she longed to be a flame
that bringly danced alone
felt jealous of the steam
that made the air its only home.

some say she wished too hard
some say she wished too long
but we awake one autumn day
to find that she was gone.

some say she wished too hard
some say she wished too long
but we awake one autumn day
to find that she was gone.

the trees, they say stood witness
the sky refused to tell
but someone who had seen it said
the story played out well.

she spread her arms out wide
breathed in the break of dawn
she just let go of all she held... ..

and then she was gone.
