I Cannot Fly

I cannot fly with mangled wings

I cannot live from broken dreams,

I cannot see through tainted eyes

I cannot love through twisted lies.

with four lines you have shown you have been through pain. and its very intricate how you think. i really enjoy how you write.

To me, the person in this poem is trying desperately to convince themselves that they cannot do those various things, that they are unacceptable. Whether or not they succeed, remains to be seen. However, I could really feel the conviction and the meaning behind such few words. :)
