A Turtle

Turtle is well-known for it's slowness.
While everybody grows and become more skilled in what they do, I don't.
I still remain as turtle.
Slowly, try to make my step a little bit further, but, I always fell.
I'm nothing.
I wish, I can grow into a phoenix.
Just like everybody did.
They are phoenix flying freely on the sky.
Roaming the entire earth, flapping their wings to show their pride and dignity.
Showing off all their glories.
Not with me.
I still remain as turtle.
Looking up at the sky, wishing that I can be a phoenix.
But, I know.
I will never become one.
