Shackled Glory

[Cloud]

A poem I wrote yesterday :3

 

Fixated on the rain that befalls me

I feel the tears, I sigh.

My soul is burning, my heart imploding

I try so hard not to cry.

My ankles chained, my wings are tied

In the end, I keep wondering, why?

With hope in one hand and a wish in the other...

I look up to the grey sky.

My home is above,

Up by miles with the doves.

Oh, with them, I used to fly.

Where the heavens are gold,

Where you never grow old,

Where my confidence was on a high.

In my heart raises fire,

Fire for my desire.

I can't let precious time pass me by.

I kick and I thrust,

doing all that I must.

I swear, so hard did I try.

For hours on end,

till my skin was worn thin...

And again, I gave up to die.
