Broken Wings

inspired by a penny

Paint this picture

in your head

for this is the story of a girl

who was left for dead

 

Trapped in a small world

the only way out

was to spread your wings and fly

 

There the girl sat

alone with a little boy

the girls broken wings kept her

glued to the floor,

scared to the core

 

When the world turned,

the boy pushed back his fears,

spread his wings,

and learned to fly

 

He flew up and out

not stopping to think

of the little girl

who he was

leaving there to die

 

Still glued to the floor

with no clue what to do

now scared,cold, and alone

her broken wings

making her unable to leave

she started to heave

 

No one cared

for the girl

whos broken wings

kept her from being able to fly

so they left her there

to die...

Author's Note

so i was doing the dishes and my brother handed me a glass it had juice in it at some point in time but now there was just a penny and dime in it. I couldnt put it in the dishwasher because it was full so i had to wash it by hand i flipped over the glass and the dime fell out but not the penny the sticky glass made it impossible for it to come out and that was how this poem came to be. I thought its okay maybe a bit weird but tell me what you think please and thank you :)
