Fly

 

I’m falling

Without any way to check my descent

I’m rocketing through the atmosphere

Through the clouds and air currents

My deadweight drags me down

Until I hit the earth with a deafening rumble

Smashing into the ground

Destroyed.

What has caused this happenstance

To take place, to come about?

He took the locks off my wings

And threw me from my gilded cage

Wished me well

However the winds of Fate may choose to blow me

Be it swiftly, and far away.

… Which was all nice and dandy

Besides the fact that I’ve forgotten

I no longer remember�" the way I once did

I cannot recall how to fly.

Therefore�"I fall.

Down down

My savior condemned me

His helping only hurt

Cuz y’see…

He freed me to live again

Which would’ve been great

If only I hadn’t forgotten

How to breathe.

great write,
kinda reminds me of a possessive partner who controls you until you lose track of who you were in the beginning,
starting out again you always feel lost....

[Fairytale]

Interesting flow to this poem. Each line is so different in length.

[anne p. murray- LadeeAn..]

A great rendition of incarnation? That's the way I took it. If not still a well written poem

[Tasha]

this had very good imagery, and i loved the part about the dead weight.

[Amanda Rena]
