It's hard to hide when you're running from yourself

I was meant to fly

Yet my wings lay still at my sides

The clouds

The rushing wind

They call to me

And barely a feather moves

Sometimes

I will feel them begin to open

The breeze runs through my primaries

But instead of extending

Instead of readying for flight

They tremble and fall limp

My hope and happiness

Crushed  once more


Why?

Why must I be trapped by myself?

I fail myself over and over


My wings are broken

In so many ways


Weak





Time and time again, I try to force myself into the air

But I just end up breaking further



Will I ever leave the ground?

Can my wings even be repaired?














Am I truly meant to fly.....?

In the End, I am only WordsWhere stories live. Discover now
