Fear of Flying

How is the fear of flying eliminated?
my wings are itching
to get out there and achieve
but my insecurities
have constrained me
My mind is ready to soar
but my heart wont leave
the desire for more
is beginning to consume me
I step out to the edge of the nest
and abruptly jump back in
when the wind of the real world
breezes by
but at the same time
i am intrigued by it
so i walk back out to the edge of the nest
and breathe in the sweet smell of freedom
what wonder!
I take one loom into the future and then one into the past
I see everything i will be leaving behind
and finally I am ready
so i move away from the edge
just to say one thing
"Mommy its time to clip the strings"
and she looks at me with an ambiguous look
that shows both joy and happiness
because her little girl is finally
ready to spread her wings.
