Broken Wings
I never asked to be here
I'm in an open cage
I wonder why I stay
Wishing there was a way
To fly so far away,
Then I remember there is no door,
The only thing that's in my way...
Is me....
A fear that lurks deep within,
Afraid to see whats at the end,
What is on the horizon?
Looking at this place and what I have become,
I know my wings are broken,
But I need to take the plunge,
To see if I can fly,
To ride the wind in the open sky,
I'm a bird with no direction...
My wings are completely flawed,
But even if they are....
Maybe after the jump they won't hurt at all.
