Tattered Wings

My wings may be tattered,
That doesn't mean I can't fly.
I may be small,
That doesn't mean I can't reach the tallest mountains.

Dead might I be,
It means not that I cannot live life to the fullest.
It means not that I cannot have love,
Friendship and knowledge.

If no one was left,
No one at all,
I would still be here
Standing proud and tall.

But If I were to lose you;
Tattered, my wings would be.
Small, dead, lonely inside
Would I be.
