My Wings Are Bruised But Not Broken

You kicked me down and beat me senseless, Yet I live to tell the tale. Your goal was to break me and leave me lifeless, But you did not prevail. You wish the worst for me. You made my every nightmare come true, But I survived and I am free, And there is nothing you can do. My wings are bruised but not broken. My wounds will heal, And you will be forgotten. I’ll soar in the sky and you won’t take me down. My wings are bruised but not broken. My tears have shed, And my cuts have bled, But I am not dead, I’m like a bird in the sky, And you’re like dirt on the ground. I shall forever fly, And you are forever earth bound My wings were bruised but not broken. My wounds are healed, And you are forgotten. I soar in the sky and you can’t take me down. My wings were bruised but not broken.

Very beautiful and well written poem Jewels. This comes across to me like song lyrics that I could imagine being sung by a female artist. One small suggestion you might want to consider - I think the word in the 2nd line should be "tale" and not "tail" - maybe I am wrong. Great job and congratulations on your 1st place reward for this wonderful poem. Joe
