Wings

Wings

A Poem by J A Lauder
"

I can't shake my restlessness and all I can do is blurt.

"

I’m not an angel,

I’m nowhere near,

I’m not a spectacle,

I’m not an enigma,

I’m not amazing,

I’m not inhuman.

I can’t change the world,

I can’t save your life,

I can’t make you feel better,

I can’t help you,

No matter how it kills me.

I’m not a miracle worker,

I’m not indestructible,

I’m not flawless.

I don’t know all the answers.

I tried on wings to make a difference

But what the f**k of a difference can I make,

When these wings don’t fly?

Just kind of angry blurt, not thinking about technicalities. Sorry.

I like it but I do agree on the blurt part but there's nothing wrong with that. Just keep blurting because sometimes when you smash all of your feelings of the moment onto a page something great comes out. :)
