I lie awake at night
thinking all the things that have one wrong
and the ones that have gone right
i am weak
and I have failed
I attempt to fly


to turn around and say goodbye and then take flight
but my wings, can't bear the burden of the weight that they need to carry
because they are ripped apart and tattered
just like my heart
i sputter to the floor below
without a moment passing, I begin to cry.
because I am too weak to fly alone.

Look down at your feet if you have them

Put them on the ground

Build from there

That is how I intepret your words

Such a sad phrase.

Just remember that you are never alone, nor do you nead to bare the weight alone.

Have faith and hold on.

Such a sad poem but so real to life for so many people .  I really liked it because I've felt that way before.  But I became strong because of my faith.
