I actually wrote this one a long time ago! Kinda proud of old me.
I am a bird
I have wings
Yet I feel I cannot fly
I spread my wings and try to fly
I lift softly off my branch
Yet my wings are intertwined
In long thick vines
The vines that keep me from flying away
From flying into a sky of true happiness
They feel like hands, hands grabbing away at me
Keeping me from soaring, from gliding on the clouds
I try to fight them, to keep them from holding me
But I am weak
I cannot fight them
No matter how hard I try
I let them drag me back, deeper into a pit of saddness
But I know why they grab me
I have given away all my happiness,
To even those who do not deserve it
I have let them drag me down
I turn around only to see nothing there
I realize they are only in my mind
And the people around me have helped them grow
Not everyone of course,
There are some people who mean the world to me
I close my eyes and breathe
'i have to learn to let go'
