Heavy Wings

Lonely birds of our time
Took off from the tarted lands 
of narcissism and neglect alike

Flapping wings to no rhyme 
Struggle over the low grounds
In depravity and high self spite

When the mountains rise high
The cheery lot from nice homes
Put their merry hearts in it and fly

Lonely birds dread the climb 
For their souls are scared and hearts beat up
And bearly hold any life
