Report copyright infringementby Anine Hansen Stranda (Author)It is difficult to fly. Especially when you are human. Flying takes work. Hard work. Flying takes blood, sweat, and tears. It takes sleepless nights. It takes working while others have fun. It takes hours of pondering if it is worth it. It takes being strict with yourself, but also finding pride in your progress.

People whom the poet ...
