Broken Glass Wings

It is so much harder than I thought Crossing bridges never been crossed Walking paths never been walked Holding onto rails never been held Seeking life with broken glass wings I dined to shelter my heart's frozen rings I pulled one's dreams, pulling my own strings Hearing a silent leaf’s song sings But I begged not and I cared not A secret choice all for naught Emptying a glass so fraught I caged joys to bottom rot And a desire I pledge to not know When can my broken glass wings glow To let it be or to let it go I sought no answers, but to let it all flow

This seems deeply emotional Sarah. Breaking out of our "comfort zone" and trying new things can be scary, but it helps us to grow.
