Wings of Lead

on wings of lead some shall fly not to soar but to fall weighed down by the burdens of life they tumble out of control unable to stop or slow down the pain of life to much to bear some don’t even care they are lost and will not be found their lives seem meaningless doomed to an eternal wandering there are those that soar and those that fall save yourself I’ll tell you while you still can for I am falling to wishing I had done something so long ago but now I’m falling and I cannot stop nothing can stop me but hitting the bottom only death could stop me now for I am falling and there is nothing to stop me my life unlived and cut so tragically short tragic to you maybe but freedom to me no longer weighed down by the wings of lead I am free of my pain pain so severe it made life unlivable unable to soar with the rest I fall as do so many unable to keep up from the weight shackled to my misery and depression I pray for it to end quick that I may be set free free of what haunts me so gravely the fear of life itself
