    I will persist

    I broke a feather today,
    
                          
    They say I can't fly again.
    
                          
    Yearns held the sky always,
    
                          
    But still, I cajole myself saying I didn't die.

    
                          
    I have just broken a feather,
    
                          
    My spirits are still high.
    
                          
    I have just lost my flight,
    
                          
    Not the will to fly.

    
                          
    So, with my legs, I will shoot,
    
                          
    With my hands, I will flap.
    
                          
    I may lose out in the race,
    
                          
    But I will survive.
    
                          
    And maybe eventually win,
    
                          
    'Cause I will persist.
