Folded in a safety cocoon
You could set me free
But you like to see me struggle
To breathe, to live
To fly
I rip my way haphazardly out
Because my survival demands it
While you sit idly by
You could lend a hand
But you like to watch the show
You're bored with this
All of it
All of what life offers
Nothings good enough for you
Rather see me to the slaughter
Finally grasping air
Taking it all in
New beginnings just for me
But you'd rather shut me in
Tentatively I crawl
To stretch my unsteady legs
Hesitantly creeping along
I'm not one who begs
I stay close to my old cell
My old self
Where I've been reborn
You watch closely
Calculating when I'll be ready
I stretch my wings
Test their strength
So I can finally soar
Confidently, I brace my knees
And you grab me down once more
You grip my wing
Injuring me
Crippling my physique
Make me broken
Unworthy to fly
Just because I was unique
I'll heal for while
Biding my time
Knowing I'll never be the same
I'll never fly to unknown heights
Because I couldn't endure the pain
Hurt me, tear me
Rip me to shreads
I'll still be here
Waiting on the ledge
And if I'm strong enough
I will take to the skies
Begin once again
And if I'm not
I'll walk right off
And my story will come to an end.
