You see only the sky
You taste only the air,
You feel only freedom,
You haven't a care
For the world down below
Where the days move so fast.
You don't care about people
Or the cars that rush past.
But oh no - what's this?
Something's pulling you down
To the earth, to the grass,
To the gravel, the ground,
To the pavement, the concrete,
To the city's loud noise.
You're gravity's prisoner.
But you maintain your poise.
You're on your way up
Once more to the sky.
You fought down the gravity,
Again you can fly.
Your feet touch the clouds
As you soar through the blue
But only for a moment
Before gravity gets you
In that moment
On the swing
When you're not a kid,
You've got wings.

Okay, I see You you you you over and over again. Let's fix that. Better.
Fixed the spacing here.
Overall, it's a very nice poem. I really liked it.

Wow this was amazing it flowed really well and the rhyming was perfect. By perfect I mean that all the rhyming words fit in the context of the poem just right. The meaning of this poem was incredible and the overall message by the time you finished reading the poem was really heart warming. I hope this poem gets featured! Great job on this, awesome poetry writing skills!
Peace,

Amazing if I must say so myself! (And i must) I wasn't sure what to make of the poem until the very end, and it added a sort of strange suspense. (A good strange suspense.) I only have a single change for you to consider.
Before each noun you have "To the..." except concrete. It kinda disrupted the flow a little for me.
Other than that, beautiful poem!
Keep writing

This is amazing! Great job. I especially liked the second stanza.
It was super cool! I thought you used really really good Imagery. The whole thing fits together in a wonderful way. I also like the rhyme scheme, I miss poems that rhyme
