The bird with broken wings still fly’s
All though it may struggle at times it still try’s
To live life free
Floating through the air
No one stops to help
Sometimes life isn’t fair
People sit back and stare as the bird spreads its broken wings
But through it all the wounded bird still sings
Staying positive as negativity breaths
A trail of stolen dreams lie
Our society is filled with thieves
People that try and hold us back
From all our goals
As if it isn’t already hard enough just dealing
With life’s highs and lows
But the bird with broken wings keeps the will to survive
Fighting, but with no tools to thrive
Forced to work ten times harder than the rest
Searching for a peaceful place to sleep
No love in the nest
So tell me what it is
That keeps this broken winged bird from giving in
Is it because its grown accustom to the struggle?
In which its faced again and again
Or maybe its the fact that the bird saw the world
Now it affects all it’s decisions
The optimism of living a productive life
Clouds the bird’s vision
The one thing we know is this bird will never accept demise
The bird with broken wings still fly’s
(Authors Note) I usually don't explain my poems. I like to leave room for people's own interpretation. But I would like to bring clarity to this piece. The bird with broken wings still fllys is an analogy for anybody who is trying to survive in life with an infirmity. A cheek in your armor if you will... The broken wing in this story can be depression, lack of resources, etc... You can place yourself in this poem and directly relate to the bird that's trying his hardest to fly through the broken wing and all life is throwing at us. But remember we don't fly alone. God will help us... Blessings
Isaiah 40:31King James Version (KJV)
31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
