One time, when I was little,
they told me I had to reach for my dreams.

They also said I was a tiny girl.

But when I grew up,
I climbed the tallest building in the world
and reached my hands to the sky.

They told me my dreams were too far away
but  I felt them take hold of my hands
from the clouds
and then, I healed.

They told me I was far too damaged,
that I'd have to take pills to make me normal,
but I ignored them.
And I stood on the top of the world

in ecstasy

because I reached my dreams of healing
by myself.
Just something small. I haven't been writing much recently. D:

This was a very sweet, heartfelt piece of prosetry. I really liked the childlike wonder it had. That coupled with the determination towards the end made this a very heartwarming poem.

Excellent job! :)
