there was a time in my life whenever i thought that the fight or flight situation would come in handy. it was something that i really considered, something that was imperative to my thought process. I was wrong. it’s not about fighting or flying away. it’s about staying in that moment, consuming yourself into what you are or what you want to be, and then realizing that all in all, you’re just there and in teh end it doesn’t mean a goddamn thing.
geralynn
he felt the respose – fight or flight – growing in his mind. there was no way he was going to stand for being treated this way, yet he knew leaving wasnt the answer. he stayed, stood his ground, and calmly said what he needed to to defend himself. it came close a couple times, but he succeeded
moon
I quickly spread my wings and began to beat them feverishly. Mother had gone to find food and now was my chance, my one small chance to show her i was better than she thought i was.. to prove her wrong. i wasnt a failure because the others had left before me.. i was going to be better than them all… She’d see.. i beat my wings faster and faster and i stepped to the edge and took the plunge….
katada
or fight? response time?
freedom to fly – leave everything behind … weightlessness …
expensive to do these days
tiring — the journey is tiring, but the destination is worth it
leah
taking flight I spread my wings and lift off, with hope and optimism a goal in sight, a vision a dream, to believe, I reach for the stars and fly
cindy
She imagined how she would feel the wind around her as she fell, the rush of cool night air a sweet caress, the lights of the city below her, stars reflected in a sea of blackness. She longed for that feeling of release, of freedom…
And then she heard Marlene speak, beside her, deadpan. “You know that if you jump, you’re dead, right?” Marlene made a sound like that of a slow-falling bomb. “Meat sauce.”
bolognese
when i fly i just go
it seems like when i get there its not quite what you said it would be. were are the clouds. were is the sun. were is anything.
why cant it all just be like you said it would
then maybe i would be with you…..here.
Mitch Babineaux
There’s an all encompassing silence in the night. Every movement seems prolonged, every light obscure and otherworldly. As I move down the street, away from that place, I can feel the weights lifting. It’s as though all this time I’ve been trapped by some unknown force, a chain around my subconscious. And now, suddenly, after so much time they’ve rusted through. I’ve emerged from my prison and my wings are finally dry. Perhaps I’ve always been waiting, and now, like insects collected around a lamp, I can fly toward the light of the cool dark moon.
Martha
flught, across the sky, flying, flying, airy searching, looking, freedom, limits are nowhere, feathers and white and beauty. clouds swirling, chilling wonderful air. birds singing, angels, godless, beautiful – freedom. no restrains, wind through your hair, dancing, just waiting for something better, nothing better. nothing with ever be better than being completely free.
alex
Would be the perfect way to leave. Just pack up, and take flight. Leave everything else behind. It never mattered anyways.
Marlea
getting more that 3 seconds of hang time (where your body is level in air), and to be awesome to move around in the air also
William Toon
on this flight the pilot was suicidal so he crashed the plane and we all died
mike
Unlock my flight to jump out and fall. Let the world become of what wesay. To all those on a wing..
Laua
The flight was amazing. The wind through her hair. The way the fall made her feel she was lighter than air. She was weightless. But she knew it would only last for another second. With the sigh of the content, the fall ended, the cord pulling tightly from above, halting her fall to the ground not far below her. She swung, still remembering the feeling. Wonderful.
Laura
Love it. Absolutely cannot wait for another. Everyday i think about it. and play it real. Then i wish and hope and live, to go to the next one. Live it.!
Alana
white wings batting against the air, rising like a fluttering cloud. he watched it go, watched its spindly legs rise and its body sleeken out, catch the air. beautiful. he was so fucking jealous.
ulu
flight already happened for me. I’ve got the scars to show for it. I’ve got the knife in my kidney like a kid’s wet balloon. It’s not that I am complaining–I’m just laying it out. Like dollar bills. Like a pair of underwear stuck out in the dirt. Like a roadsign painted with purple nailpolish.
CW
fight or flight. This is what comes to mind. My mother always told me that it was better to flee than to fight it showed that the person attacking you was not your actual enemy but instead hunting outside of his kingdom. she was a biologist.
luis quiroz
I flew two months ago. It was my brothers idea. He said lets jump out of a plane — want to come? I said yeah and was joking. A few weeks later there we were staring at a small beat up plane way out in the Oregon country. He beat his fear of flying. He went first and when his feet hit the ground I ran up to him. He was grinning ear to ear. I haven’t seen that look since we were kids.
SpK.
It took flight, like a feather gusted up by the wind, a once flightless bird that could do nothing more than dream of cotton candy clouds and blue skies of summer afternoons. Penguins have the wings, sure they don’t have the real ability, but why can’t the fly? Flying is a dream, to some its more, but all can look upwards while waving their arms like lunatics wanting to take flight and escape to where ever their dreams and imaginations may take them.
Kiri
It wasn’t the fight that scared me, it was the flight. Going forward with my life again without knowing where it would lead me. I could have stayed and put up with it, or as the case would be, not put up with it. But I decided it was time. Time to assert myself. Time to let my voice be heard. Not out of anger, but out of desperation. It was the last time. That’s how it goes I suppose.
Tats
Up up and away I take flight like a bird looking down upon my pitiful body held captive by gravity. I wonder how long I can do this. Simply be me before I am beaten back down. Dear lord don’t let my wings break.
Kim
you reach your hand around my waist again
rest. the small of my back.
inside, beneath my heart, something takes off…
outside, something in front is removed as well.
heart beating fast.
you smile.
i’m falling in love.

the flight of a plane, as sit cuts through the air and flies from one place to the next. bringing its passengers to wherever they want to go
A bird. as it cuts through the air in the same way as a plane but with more vertical motion. Birds fly in formation. planes don’t. birds look better flying
Kastian
If I was a bird, I would fly, fly, fly, over everyone’s head.
I wouldn’t have to stick around anywhere that I didn’t want too- I wouldn’t have to stick around anywhere I wasn’t wanted. People would want me, though, wouldn’t they? Because I could fly, and when you can fly, you car fly in more ways than one.
But I, I know, would not have the guts to leave anyways. I would fly, fly, fly, over the rooftops, around the trees and back again. Isn’t that what they say; “There are certain people you just keep coming back too,” and even if they say those people are with you in your hearts…
they’re not.
They’re back at their home.
Alone.
Without you.
And so, you would never leave. Because you would never risk losing what you already have.
Ashley Nicole Brooks Flowers
i like flying in airplanes. i like flying in dreams. i like watching birds fly. even the ones that don’t fly well like turkeys. wild and peacocked and fat. i love that mother had to pay extra for a pillow on a flight home from california, and extra for an aisle seat. i love that we are all flying hurtling wild through space
Meg
This word still up? It’s got more hang time than Michael Jordan. The Wright brothers are rolling over in their graves in agony over the sheer amount of time this word has been up there. I know COMIC BOOKS of the same title that have been cancelled. This word is stuck tighter than the dingleberries I fought off during my third bowel movement of today!
paisley
You’ve taken the eternal flight. Gone from us forever. I never really knew you, I’d never met you. But to me you are so much more alive now than ever before. You’ve changed my life and my passion with your one quick action. With the taking of your own life you have reconfigured mine.
Curious George
to take flight as to run away seem cowardly. to take flight as to be free seem bravery. to take flight as to fly seem hopeful. We all hope to be a balance of the latter two.
walter elias D.
When I was a child, I thought that planes took off like spaceships. When I was about to go on one, I asked my dad if that was true. He reassured me that it wasn’t, and we’d take off gradually. He was on the toilet at the time.
Despairigus
The plane took off quickly, the passengers thrown to the back of their seats, disoriented by the sudden shift. The sound of the engines roared in the back of everyone’s mind. Soon, the
“city of lights” would be in sight.
Allison
a flight falling into the oblivion of earth till all pieces tumble and crash onto the plain that is solid ground the people flee the people burn the people die, its a tradegy flight.
jason
wings wings go away come again another day. feathers. aerodynamics. propellers. windup, rubber band. NCNCNCNCNCNCNCNCNC brothers love.
Tatum
she flies. around the world. they never stop. they never stop moving. the pillars. they cut a man in half. he falls. to the ground. splatter. his dead limbs hit little children in the head. they cry. water washes away the blood. the water runs red. it looks as if the movie jaws was filmed all around the city.
Lindsey
i’ve never had a flight any where. i’ve always drove every where, now i’m scared to fly any where. amazing huh?
Aj
never fly. always fly i cant help but want to fly everywhere i freaking go! everywhere i fucking go i wish i was flying there! maybe im impatient i dont knwo what it is! i feel sick to think that im not happy with the mode of transportatino i have but maybe im like a cripple. maybe were all like cripples and we all want to get somewhere faster adn more efficiently. maybe it a sign that im not happy with who i am or what im doing. i think that if i could take flight i could get there and do things better but i knwo things would still be just as horrible as they are in my life and just as equally well off. nothing would be really different if i coudl take flight but that doesnt make my desire lessen in the slightest. it must be human nature to always want more and want something better…improvement. sure ive given it a negative twist but this is a perfect representation of what makes each and every one of us beautiful and so unique from every other living creature. now we must take flight in our minds!!!!! :]]]]]]]]]]
Francesca Floyd
I’ll fly far far away and never come down I’ll feel so free! Then when I come down I’ll tell everyone I know about the best feeling in the world! And everyone will envy me and wonder at flight.
Lizzy
what i want. what would be so much fun. to fly would be so fantastic for so many reasons. the one thing humans cant do on their own. the one element we as animals can’t master. its funny that way.
philosiphizer
But there’s no way we can fly.
Birds can soar, insects can flutter. But humans merely stumble. Walk-walk-walk and Oh we can only tread on merciless ground.
Let me see the world from above once.
My feet are so useless now…
Serrival
Let me take flight. I swear I want to leave forever.
