Broken wings

I’m lost in misery, in a world I couldn’t see,
Like a bird in a cage, no way to break free.
Trapped in my mind, far from reality,
Days turned to years in silent captivity.

I dreamed of the sky, of soaring so high,
But when the door opened, I didn’t know why-
My wings felt broken, heavy with fear,
I’d forgotten how to fly, after all these years.
