Broken Wings

I could fly 

in a land far far away

it had no conventional meaning

but it was paradise


I could fly

far far away

so that no one would ever catch me

and no one could ever find me


I could fly through the shadows

in the darkness of the night

and I could fly into the sun

in the comfort of the day


but now my wings are broken

And I can't fly anymore 

I can no longer run or hide

from the true world that alludes me


but now I will live in truth

and not in cowardice

for I can no longer fly away 

from my fears


I will face my demons head on

and will come away victorious 

I do not need wings anymore

for I can now fly without them
