Over the Elements

I want to fly High in the sky But my wings are clipped In the earth I'm strapped Bound to the ground Dreaming with the skies My mind soar high My screams follow behind I want to swim In this blue and calm sea But my fins are shackled At this anchor that keeps dragging me To this cold and dark abyss Where I can't seem to breathe Where water turns into molasses All becoming too hard for me I want to run free In this endless white sand Galloping on these dunes My mane flying in the air My hooves eating the ground But all they find is quicksand my desperate moves making me sink The pressure more than I can stand I want to build a bonfire To bathe in it's warmth Let the fire rid me from this cold That shatters me from inside And maybe like the Phoenix I'll have a new start I'll reborn from my ashes All the pain left behind But I won't forget all that I went thru My scars will be the reminder That even wanting to succumb, I never gave up, I kept fighting... *** February 14, 2017
