Sky's Last Veil

Don’t spread your wings for those who wouldn’t notice your flight

Broke through sky’s last veil

No oxygen, I stiffen

Died for their high hopes


Author's Notes

This was written for Vocal's Sky-ku Challenge. Sometimes, we tend to lose ourselves trying to fulfil people's sky-high expectations of us. Even if we exit the atmosphere, it still wouldn't be enough for them.

A Haiku is a type of non-rhyming Japanese poem that always uses the same number of syllables in a three-line format:

  • the first line has 5 syllables

  • the second line has 7 syllable

  • the third line has 5 syllables
