Your own Wings
Life soars, sweeps, and flies before my very eyes
It’s sweet like honey on a biscuit
And innocent as a baby sleeping
It’s an egg waiting to unfold it’s self
And discover the empty unknown
Lines separate the prison cell at last she is free
It stumbles out without any grace
But free from any burdens
Steps are taken away from love
And care it was given
From the comfort and safety surroundings
From the ones who care for her most
Close to the edge of the soft pad made
Of twigs and leaves
As a big leap of faith
To the next breaking point in life
She spreads her wings
She falls under the pressure to be perfect
The regrets and mistakes she has made
Unfold on her wings
She staggers as she stands
This time she’ll get it right
For the days of love and laughter out weigh the bad
With wings spread wide
She tries to fly
She flaps her feathers fast and steady like a thunderbolt
Soon she is gone
As quickly as she came into this hateful world
Shes soaring and sweeping
As she looks life in the eyes
She flies
