Growing up, we were always told to be careful who we hang out with
A good friend can take you places,
but so can a bad friend,
just depends on the places you wish to go…
I was on the ground one day,
and soon i was flying above the houses,
I loved the feeling up there.
As we passed by, I began to see more of the city,
and we flew higher and higher.
What a friend I thought. We had just met. They reached out to me even.
I felt pretty special that these folks were so nice,
to start improving my life,
so drastically.
So we flew.
Across the city I knew,
and felt that this could be the time,
a Savior had arrived.
We went further up, looking around the town, until we reached a bigger nearby city.
We gathered ourselves for the big leap.
The big show. New York! So we went there next.
We flew higher and higher to get there.
It was fun let me tell ya.
The next step was Global.
We had to go even higher.
And higher yet still.
At this point, I realized ….
Jeeze this is getting too high I think.
I realized I had given all my power over.
They had taken me so High.
What if I fall?
And then I realized.
To be flown so high,
they wished for me to fall.
Unshackled,
by my own mediocrity,
I had flown to Heights Unseen.
Undeservedly.
And then I fell.
Without my own Power I flew,
and without my own Power I fell.
A friend will take you there. And there too.
