Ambitiuos Broken Heart

My wings are spread but my take off is faulty
My dreams are waiting for me with open arms
But the deep fading voice warned me that my window of opportunity
Is limited
Too much time has gone by
I am staring right at them but cannot take flight
I can't even get close
Sorrow and regret fills my chest
I'm staring and stress all my muscles and tendons
Still can't get close
Disappointment sets in
As I hang my head in shame
I feel like I am crying
but not one tear falls
Apart of me refuses to give up
So I attempt again
I prepare myself for lift off
and fall flat on my face
It hurts
But not as much as my ego
I sit and think
of how I can change
The situation
What is there to do differently?
Tears finally stain my face
With a force of frustration
Can't get far on broken wings�
