Fly
I’m falling
Without any way to check my descent
I’m rocketing through the atmosphere
Through the clouds and air currents
My deadweight drags me down
Until I hit the earth with a deafening rumble
Smashing into the ground
Destroyed.
What has caused this happenstance
To take place, to come about?
He took the locks off my wings
And threw me from my gilded cage
Wished me well
However the winds of Fate may choose to blow me
Be it swiftly, and far away.
… Which was all nice and dandy
Besides the fact that I’ve forgotten
I no longer remember— the way I once did
I cannot recall how to fly.
Therefore—I fall.
Down down
My savior condemned me
His helping only hurt
Cuz y’see…
He freed me to live again
Which would’ve been great
If only I hadn’t forgotten
How to breathe.
