Someday Youll Fly

Responding to the lightest touch of an angel, she sings words of praise to her friends calling their names in desperation to be heard. Falling more with each night spent alone and empty: her wings have forgotten how to fly... Living a life full of deception and need. Keeping secrets hidden from the prying eyes of adults and foes of all ages; she's spent years alone. Calling, wishing, wanting... Learning after each mistake how to let go and live on, even though life can be harder than death... Early she learned to hide her feelings and try to: never fall for those around her... Still this butterfly waits to be free: untied and unfettered for the chance at being more than a living doll. More than just one night after another of pills and needles... Living one more day in search of her reason to live, inch by inch she grows and learns to be herself: varying by degrees and looking for her path... Another lost soul looking for her reason for existing; never forgotten...

people just don't understand me.This is a good poem.The only thing is my angel will never forget how to fly.I just can't take the pain any more and it's time to give up.I am tired of fighting.I have no more strength to fight.I hope you all remember me and my poems. goodbye

This was truly a very nice read, i think that things that you read and feel and in turn, resonate with and amplify your own feelings are the best. For me this poem is one of those ocasions. Love and light fellow human
