Birds trust wings, not branches weak,
Self-reliance soars, their spirit unique.
Yet, rising high comes with a fee,
Only the brave can reach destiny.

Wealth and love, elusive and rare,
Friendship's scarce, or so we're aware.
Dreams are free, but time's easily lost,
Humanity's skill, in procrastination's cost.

Still, spread your wings, and take the leap,
Self-reliance guides, in darkness or sleep.
For those who dare, and pay the price,
Will find their potential, shining bright and nice.
