clipped wings
May 24, 2022
The ones graced and laced with innocence
Purely dipped in the same fluff as the clouds
What happens when you’ve broken wings?
Seeing the world in a different light
Tinting yourself a darker shade of gray
The further you travel into the pool of responsibility
and up the corporate ladder
Life signed away
All decoratively in a suit and tie
And you sit
Wilting, deprived of sunlight
and chained to a desk
A chance at material wealth
Yet, you’re still the loneliest person here
So go on, sign your life away
To the ball and chain
Lets see how happy that makes you.
