Caught in your words, a trap holding my flight, their weight broke my wings, I was left without light. You stole away my only sky and then just left me, alone, to die I'll take my wings and learn to fly but in my head I'll still ask why, never did you no harm, never told you a lie, still you broke me and left me to die. Some time has passed, my wounds did heel, never knew I could feel the way I now feel. Never did let you get to me, never though I couldn't try. I needed to get back to my own lonely sky, so I took my wings and taught them to fly but in my head never stopped asking why, when I never did harm you and never told you a lie, why did you brake me and leave me to die? Planning big can be a gamble...I have already rolled the dice! |

aw this is sad.......well you were left to die but prevailed and survived.....I'm glad about that.......yours wings may not have fully mended, but they will. Good luck. I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I'm in love with my shadow I admire it daily |

This is an excellent poem. Your meter is fine, and the flow is good. I believe you followed through with the same thought excellently; that's important. Your English skills are very good. Keep up the good work. Kathleen Blake "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey." Laurie Lee |

Oh this is so sad! Not all of it, but a lot. And then ending was good. It's also a very god metaphore. "Some men see things as they are and say why. I dream things that never were and say why not." ~RFK |

After you're down it's hard to get back up. I'm glad that you did though. Keep flying and writing pieces like this ok. ~AF~ "It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory." |

Such a sad situtation you write about, but it's beautiful that you are able to fly on your broken wings. Thanks for sharing. "Men judge generally more by the eye than by the hand, for everyone can see and few can feel."-Machiavelli |
