Birdie, please.

I told him I've lost hope in myself

and that my dreams were all in vain

life is a cycle

which has brought me here today

"did you get your wings clipped, birdie?"

he asked me through a text

it feels as though thats the case

I'm afraid of what comes next

every morning when I wake up in my bed

with a longing for something more

i know its all inside of me

I've just got to open that door

I fear whats on the other side

failure, disappointment, or truth

so the door remains closed

I figure, what's the use?

my worn out wings 

need a rest from my last flight

noone clipped them but myself

I don't want to fly for a little while

my last fall has put me in poor health

afraid ill never fly again

even when my wings grow back

where a rainbow used to paint my sky

now all i see is black

what's a birdie without its wings

muffled is the song she sings

hold tight little birdie

I see you soaring high

a pattern never lies

and a spirit never dies

build strength in the stillness

while you're waiting for growth

leave your doubts and limitations

behind you in a cloud of smoke

sing yourself to sleep

when theres noone else around

you've gone as low as you can go this time

please,pick yourself up off the ground

You'll fly even higher, once you've gathered enough strength.
Be patient, but persistent. 

Thank you Ert, for inspiration and kind words. It means more than I can say...

heal and ascend

Oh the irony: "Leave your doubts and limitations" My own words, made to stand out to me... I didn't make those words bigger or space them out like that on purpose. I clicked post and it came up like that in the preview. It's funny how you really do get the signs your looking for if you are just AWARE.




So today, I will leave my doubts and limitations in a cloud of smoke.
see what happens...
