Paper Wings

Paper Wings

I feel broken

I feel shattered

Hurt beyond repair

These pieces of me

Can never be put back together

No amount of glue can do that

I am fallen

Its all around me

Surrounding me

Drowning me

The sorrow

The pain

I want it to end

So I walk up these stairs

To the very top of the tall

And stand on the very edge

The awakening sun’s rays on my face

I put on my wings

Made of paper and string

Tears run down my face

And I take a step forwards

I just want to fly

Fly far away

From the pain below

Only to fall

Fall down

Until I hit the ground

My eyes open and I find myself in white light

My wings no longer paper

But feather
