Soaring By Gio Masserati Poem by Gio Masserati

Soaring
Soaring-not!
You may think you can't possibly live up to my expectations
How sad, how scary, how impossible
Nobody's perfect- -how 'bout you?
I'm not perfect- -definitely- -not!
Bar so high, not settling, but really, Geez!
Where do fragile hearts go from here?
Soaring- not!
Your fears and emotions put you through hell
Might as well keep denying
Give up trying
Give up on love?
Give up crying
Give up on on turtle doves?
Flying- -Soaring
Trying
Trying
Trying
Trying heart dying
Dying trying
Trying trying
Dying
Trying
Die
Trying

or
Not!

Maybe you can't live up to your own expectations?
Maybe I can't live up either- -ever?
To your expectations of me- -that far exceed who I am- -who I can be
Maybe it's you?
Maybe it's me?
Struggling
Soaring above expectations
Maybe we are the same
Just Soaring Above

Let's Start Over
Individually
Independantly
Graciously
Soaring

Let's Begin Again
From Here
Soaring

Together
Let's Soar
