Broken Wings

Seas of red ribbons of light.

Wondering if I’ll ever feel whole again,

as the tears fall on my pillow.

I’m just glad

I can feel again.

Feeling numb,

feeling scared.

At the same time, wondering if it’s all worth it.

Feeling pain that no one knows;

feeling anger.

 

My wings are broken;

I’m terrified.

My wings are broken;

Will I ever feel free?

Is freedom real

or a human construct?

 

Hating everything

I write.

Feeling anger and bitterness;

My wings are broken again.

Swimming in a sea of red,

hoping I can see those ribbons of light.
