I fly in spite of these iron chains
It is difficult, but the hardest of things
Is when people watch and say, "So what?
It is easy for her
To fly;
She has wings."

Wow, again! I love this poem. I can identify with it - our overlooked struggles and unappreciated efforts. You capture the truth very well in so few lines! Nice work. :)
