once

turning times

Her broken wings never stopped her

She tries to fly with broken wings

 But this gravity pulls her down

She tries to shoot for the trees

But falls to the ground

She continues on

Never losing hope

Trying her to heal her wounded heart

These wings don’t bring her far

But she travels on foot

Pain won’t stop her

She is strong

And refuse to fall

Depression swarms her thoughts

As anxiety tries to take her down

Those black strands of darkness

Trying to shackle her 

But she smiles at the sun

And embraces darkness

She smiles like nothing is wrong

And continues on

Faking till she makes it she does

But sometimes it the only way

Her disuse helps her not be seen

She runs on the battlefield with a heart that was broken long ago

By a father before anyone else would know

 This sent her seeking love

 All the wrong kinds

By all the wrong people

She crashed

And her wings became tattered

And slowly her halo fell off

But she fought the darkness

With the light she still had

Didn’t matter if all she had was one white feather

She would still seek the light

The darkness surrounded

But she only shined brighter

Having faith

She would be a fighter

Many times wanting to give in

But knowing it wasn’t worth it

On the battlefield she took bullets and spears

Swords to the chest

And still she ran

Didn’t matter if she was cut and nearly gone

She smiled because it’s the battle she is winning

That keeps her going

That smile never leaving her face

Because at the end of the day

It was just another battle she won
