RANd0M P0EMS & St0RiES

Broken Wings

Ships of wood
Gliding forth the sea
A land to conquer
Is what they seek

Fed us lies
Blinded by the truth
Plastic smiles
That's what it all took

Enemies as allies
Intentions masked as lies
Naive as could be
Happily skipped to the hands of thee

Now look where we are
Hearts filled with scars
Every step I take
A scream erupts from its wake

Sobs get louder
Voice evident of the pain
Visions' clouded
Silently pouring with the rain

Took my wings
Bound me to Earth
Treated as garbage
You made me question my worth

A mother's life slipping away
A brother's face in a nameless sea
As the bird who once flew for days
Now locked up in an enclosed cage

Unbind these chains that bind me
Demolish the label that was bestowed
For I was born human
Not an animal to be owned
