The resounding drum of my heart
Is a pounding thump, a deafening roar
A poisoned dart

The whisper of hope in my ear
Tells me to fly, though my wings are broken
But I tremble in fear

Shall I let it devour me?
I will defy the preset path and soar

Yes, my wings are broken
But I have a dream

I shall take my hair
Unravel it gently
And stitch my wings at the seams

Every feather, every bone
The ivory moans
What a vain
What a meaningless song
