Clipped Wings

The tears hide the pain
But it never goes away
The pain, you see
Is just a part of me
How can I find a light?
When blindfolded and chained to the floor
It's as in a dream, true in a way
But never the same
Been through heaven, but only after going through hell
I try... I only try to fly
When shackled to the ground 
I beg of you, release me
Free me from my guilt and sorrow
It's only a word I wish to borrow
" ...Go! "
I can forgive, but never forget
How you chose to display my clipped wings
