Someday Youll Fly
Responding to the lightest touch of an
angel, she sings words of praise to her friends
calling their names in desperation to be
heard. Falling more with each night spent alone and
empty: her wings have forgotten how to fly...
Living a life full of deception and need.
Keeping secrets hidden from the prying eyes of
adults and foes of all ages; she's spent
years alone. Calling, wishing, wanting...
Learning after each mistake how to let go and live on,
even though life can be harder than death...
Early she learned to hide her feelings and try to:
never fall for those around her...
Still this butterfly waits to be free:
untied and unfettered for the chance at being more than a
living doll. More than just one night after another of pills and needles...
Living one more day in search of her reason to live,
inch by inch she grows and learns to be herself:
varying by degrees and looking for her path...
Another lost soul looking for her reason for existing;
never forgotten...
