She was 10.
and already knew greater things were in store.
People looked at her a bit differently.
Like she was a bit strange, a bit flighty, a bit troubled.
And she was.
But that didn't falter her.
With such a small frame
you wouldn't immediately see the huge ambition in that girl.
Unless you looked into her big brown eyes
filled with fire and excitement.
It was common to hear her speak her mind,
regardless if her opinions were differing from those
of her peers.
She made her first get away
into the world of euphoria and exhilaration
and from there she was hooked on that feeling.
She was flying.
She was free.
Her adventures got more frightening
as they got closer to the stars.
More things were being put at risk.
Now it was time for the most monumental one.
Warnings and cautionary tales
were told to her
about the dangers of the trip she was about to pursue
for the destination in her mind
was one so small and seeming
unattainable.
They thought she was crazy
attempting to do
what just "cannot be done."
They asked if she was wiling to take the chance
and she nodded with confidence.
That's when she got into the plane and took off.
Previous memories were replaced with visions of her future.
She was making her great escape
and she never looked back.
