Athos Antinori Poet Free verse

Wings

One day, i am going to grow wings, 
And leave this place behind and never look back.
One day, i am going to grow wings,
And live as myself forever.
One day, I an going to grow wings,
And be the person I needed then.
One day, I am going to grow wings,
And not be scared of the height.
One day, i an going to grow wings,
And be free.

My wings will be big,
To support the weight of my grief. 
My wings will be large, 
To have the stability i never had.
My wings will be clean,
To remind me of the dirt in my soul.
My wings will be strong,
To fly high and fast from the depths of myself.
My wings will be light,
To make me feel like i never even had them in the first place.

In a fantasy world, 
My soul is pure.
In a fantasy world,
My heart isn't hurting when left alone.
In a fantasy world,
My mind isn't my enemy.
In a fantasy world,
My existence isn't something to fight for. 
In a fantasy world,
I will grow wings.
