Raven Tones Poet Bio

Flightless Burden

Maybe if I felt more useful

I wouldn't feel quite useless

Maybe if I was told I could be

I could have been more then you saw me

Perhaps if I was convinced 

Wouldn't have required the urge  false represent 

Could have been a someone

If I could have been anyone

More then as i was told I could have

Maybe when I was crying and had an ear to speak in

Wouldn't have felt so pointless 

Wouldn't feel the need to lie to myself

Because I'm only as useless as everybody else

Who was refused the chance to be somebody else

I don't want to follow you

I just want my right to choose

Give be back my wings 

So I can fly away

Fly away home

Fly away empty

Like a flock of crow

Pray a chance to grow

So my path in the sky

Is free for once

Maybe clear the runway

So I won't be urged to run away

From the bullets your mouth's fire at me

And my wings can heal

So maybe one day I could fly home.
