Broken Wings

a poem by Vaishnave

My dreams are shattered
And I got nowhere to go
And I was just getting started
And I was stopped midflight

I was about to soar
High in the skies
Like a eagle
And my wings were clipped midflight

And I’ll fly
With these broken wings
And all the vultures
Will watch as I roam the sky

And I will soar
I will live again
I’ll rise from the ashes
I’ll mend these broken wings

Everyone baying for my blood
They watched me fall
They watched me hit the ground
And they just stood there,
Watching me die

And I will live
I will dream again
I’ll follow those dreams
Until the day I die

And I won’t heed these broken wings
I’ll take them along
They’ll always be a part of me
They won’t hinder my flight

And I will soar
I will live again
I’ll rise from the ashes
I’ll mend these broken wings

I won’t fade away
Like they hope I would
And nobody’ll get the better of me
And no more broken wings
