Like a bird with no wings, I
I flounder through faded fields of ash
I taste the faintest fury beneath my tongue
I scrounge for substance in my self-shame.
Why was I born wingless to a world without
Mercy? Why was I made maimed and
Separated from the sky, so blue, so tall, so
Beyond, beyond me.
Like a bird with no wings, I
I sit alone in the crowded classroom and wonder.
I wonder where courage is kept
I continue to crawl past muck and raw roots, alone.
Why do I keep walking through a world without
Mercy? I press on for the dream
Separated from me by miles but so blue, so tall, so
Beyond, beyond me.
