Avian Child (Lyric) by Tekara

I'm really starting to wonder why, every time I start to fly, Something drags me back to ground. I was born an avian child, the winds intrigued, the skies beguiled. The breezes whispered a quiet sound. Each night I fly so high in my dreams, drifting along without a care it seems, Till morning comes to drag me down. Those around me can' t understand, as they are bound so firmly to land. I will forever be outside them all. With mantled wings and hooded eyes, I wait, searching barren skies for a mate, Never quite finding one to fit. In human form, I am forever bound, never once to leave the ground, Never with an avian mate. Forever grounded, Forever off center, Not FAIR?.I was meant to fly?.

the first two stanzas lead in well. the third stumbles on "fly so high in my dreams" as overly cliched and as such unecessary to say in so many words. also, use of "it seems" unnecessarily is, well, unnecessary and feels like it was just put there to fit the rhyme and rhythm. the rest is rather mediocre. I think you have a wonderful start, though.
