The 'Limiting' Sky
Wings not broken
But ‘socially’ clipped
Blooming desires
Well and truly nipped
What remains?
Sheer flights of fancy
Dreams unlimited
Very removed
From reality
Want to preserve
Your energy
For that
One final burst
The open sky
Tempting enough
Giving you
That false confidence
‘I must’
You take off
Hit the blue roof
Tumble down
Roll over,
Gasp and die.
