Does this look like the face
Of some one who will make it?
Eyes red and full of tears
What have I been fighting for
Through all of these years
I have felt weak
I have felt meek
I have felt at times I couldn’t speak
The stiffness
Hits my chest
As I let out a wail in the darkness
I am rooted in the nest
Stuck as the wings have tried their best
They have not gone anywhere
As I move my body
To see what lies ahead
The fall seems high
And I fear to fly
But still I hope
That some day I will make it
That some day i will gain strength
Pull my wings from the sheath
And take the leap
Look at my age they say
But the battle has been great
For I only know and not they
The sorrows and the pain
The malice and disgrace
That I have faced
And the wings that wish to fly
Full force into embrace
The pain is great
But still I hope that some day
I will make it
That the thoughts in my mind
Will become but a passing of time
And that I will finally
Spread these wings
And fly fly fly
