she jumped into the sky
and spread her wings to fly
without thinking she could die
because she just wanted to try,
the clouds sank past her eye
of their embrace she was not shy
to ignore this feeling would be a lie
but she couldn't help but let out a sigh
for she found she could not fly
but you know what?
she tried
while her brother sat there and cried

You know, to be honest... I was sitting there through the first few lines of the poem thinking, "Man, what is this crap... It's a nice notion but really, really basic..."
And then BAM! You smack with the unexpected, just when I resigned myself to an opinion of the poem. She didn't make it... but she tried. And then again, you don't let us go. There's he brother at the end. Wow... just wow. The power from how unexpected those last four lines are really make the poem for me.
