50, 000 Stories

I wish I could go up 50,000 stories tall
without being afraid of the heights
To feel the wind on my face
and see the world from a better place

I wish I could go up 50,000 stories tall
and see that 10,000 mistakes
10,000 rejections
10,000 heartbreaks
10,000 not good enoughs
10,000 too lates
doesn’t have to make me feel so small
Instead, it should take me to the top
Somewhere high as the clouds
Because 50,000 stories of my past
are things I have surpassed
