I had the dream again last night.

As an eagle, I took flight.

But the voices, so intense

Can't keep up this pretense


They screamed at me

Loud, in disharmony

And I started to crack

Then the world turned black


But they tore at me still

I was deprived of my will

I flew continuously

Wings beating strenuously


But I fall


It happens, encore,

I cannot handle more

This time, in real life

Their words are a knife


Just as in my dream

I drown, but can't scream

As I fall from the sky

Once hoping to fly


Night rolls around

I try to block the sound

They think I can't hear

But I can't close my ear


And I fall


I hear what they say

Try to wish it away

And deeply they cut me

As one would strike the tree
