Bird In Distress

There is no reason why i shouldn’t do it, i thought come what may and what may not. The grass is always greener on the other side I wanted to explore , to go against the tide. The game was on and the score ticked on, seemed it was just the beginning of the dawn. never knew the boundaries,no fear,no limit, never tried so hard, never seen the summit. just wanted to hover around,just wanted to glide. just to ease my mind and come down the slide, I thought i knew it all, seen it all, but for that something behind the dark wall. came so close as I always do deja vu again, nothing new. never dared to jump across the wall I ain't crazy, i knew i would fall so i turned to fly back, back to base, but before i knew,got caught in a haze, didn't panic ,played by the rules, kept my cool, went on with the cruise. I flew on ,but the haze got thicker, now i had to act, do it quicker. I veered and swerved, tried to nose-dive then it all happened, it trapped me naive lightning started striking, started striking twice venturing into forbidden territory ,I had to pay the price. caged in fright in the steel machine so freaked and scared,i've never been. extreme g-force froze my brain deep inside,i felt my blood drain. voices ,a thousand wailing voices screaming and whispering all the noises disillusioned and petrified ,i tried to scream my memory failed and i began to dream woke up with a start in a different scene pondering in the dark, nothing to be seen I struggled inside my hollow self couldn't breathe ,couldn't cry for help but i thought i cried, someone came along i tried to run away, but it was too long dark forces came all around haunted my soul ,the banshee sound i fell into the valley of death the dark knight there cometh to drown me inside the quicksand of hell, this time for me tolls the bell. sliding inside that black hole, i didnt want to let go of my soul. I took a look at the black sky the last time before i die my memory faded and then i drowned. stranger to the mystery around i floated around in the maze of time in an age of evil and endless crime then came that flash of light my guardian angel on my flight i opened my eyes, got back my senses saved myself from all the wicked trenches "planet earth calling" that familiar voice home sweet home,bring back all my joys. vow unto death i took, never again to fly the vow that would be the biggest lie.
