Could I Ever Fly?

My eyes are sunken,
My skin is egg white.
My face lifts towards the sky,
And my arms stretch towards flight.
I can feel my throat vibrating,
My voice is deflating.
A crowd of people gather around,
Watch my mouth move as I don't make a sound.
I'm an outline in a sea of solid shadows,
A difference in a crowd, hanging by the gallows.
I feel aloft against these covetous eyes,
Their teeth sharp and grinning, mouth full of flies.
And I'm slowly asphyxiating.
And I'm slowly preparing to die.
And I ask myself, could I ever fly?

Hmmm...I think you could have easily added more, but I give it a 3 anyway.
