Stolen Wings
Let me
Fly
Away
from the chains,
the shackles
That bind me tight
Fly
away from the nets
Casted,
Entangling my feathered wings
Let me soar,
Sail away,
Let the sunbeams find
my eyes
Let me free,
Free from black
tethered ropes,
Ensnared in my own wingbeat
Let me up,
Rising with the wind,
Let me fleet,
flit with the butterflies
Let me away,
No longer held,
Encaged by greedy fingers
Let me go,
Go far
Let the sparkling
dreams of the stars dance
In my heart
Let me go
Go where I want to
Go without you
Go where I came from
Before
Let me cry,
Let the tears of the sky become mine,
Let them rise with the windstorm,
Then let me fly,
Fly
Fly away
From the raindrops
Encumbering
my broken wings

I wrote this piece as a thought to a person, who perhaps feels like they have been captured by the identities of this world, loosing his/her wings to fly. The master of the cage holds them captive, binding the only way out.
