Spread my wings and fly....

I need to spread my wings and fly

Find my own strength, and within it-- rely.

Gather my afflictions and throw them away.

Before I find my life starting to fray.

A quilt, in which it stands, embrordered with memories-- with strengths and weaknesses, and overall calamities.

The colors may differ, some dark and some bright.

Only rare times, I will find my load to be light.

 

So toughen up young girl,

I say to myself.

Don't let them pull you along

With their empty self righteous flaws.

They try to pull you in with their selfish claws.

They are miserable where they dwell.

Their hearts existance has ceased

Their souls are gone.

All that's left are hideous beasts.

Hey... I really liked this one.. great flow.. this one really could apply to lots of people as we all have people who try to drag us down.. when they are down.. love the stanza:

This one I couldn't say better myself.. I am saving it to favorites as a reminder.. that while there are great people around us.. there are many fallen that can drag others down ..either on purpose or accident.. either way it is best to keep a safe distance.. but I believe you still have to be supportive to loved ones in crisis.. I will try to remember this one! =)
