The resounding drum of my heart
Is a pounding thump, a deafening roar
A poisoned dartThe whisper of hope in my ear
Tells me to fly, though my wings are broken
But I tremble in fearShall I let it devour me?
I will defy the preset path and soarYes, my wings are broken
But I have a dreamI shall take my hair
Unravel it gently
And stitch my wings at the seamsEvery feather, every bone
The ivory moans
What a vain
What a meaningless song
