Taking Wing
Taking Wing
Written by David
I’m thankful everyday to have you by my side…there is no need to hide…I’m going along with the ride
I lived on the edge for too long now…
I will rise from the ashes one way or another
I can’t pretend that everything will be a sundae with a cherry on top
No one is available to listen to me once more…
I was once a bird, taking wing and having so much fun…
Am I trapped in here for others’ pleasure?
Why can’t I fly and feel the sun,
Caress my wings with warm-hearted affection beyond measure?
My guardian angel of light; shimmer anew with all of your perpetual might
So I sit down and pout and jot down everything that’s on my mind
Lies chased me down…this road of frustration
And I’m falling away into the black hole of my nightmares
I believed in you and you put me down…
Caged for no apparent reason…
Am I trapped in here for others’ pleasure?
Why can’t I fly and feel the sun,
Caress my wings with warm-hearted affection beyond measure?
I look up to you and I admire your halo, hovering around your head gaily and vibrantly…do you still abide –
I’m shattered…and I’m in disbelief…
You disappointed me with your wolf-in-sheep’s-clothing words
I’m scared and in anguish…I need some relief
Right now… I feel like I’m in captivity, freaking out like a thousand birds…
I was once a bird, taking wing and then you shot me down with your negativity and your discouragement of plenty…but I kept on biting the bullets, so put down that gun…
Am I trapped in here for others’ pleasure?
Why can’t I fly and feel the sun,
Caress my wings with warm-hearted affection beyond measure?
D-do you still abide in the light or are you a fallen angel who fell victim to the lusts of midnight?
