growth


Someone pulled my wings off

When I was but a girl

The scars still burn

sometimes

Once I glued my wings back on

They don't work properly now

But I try to flap them

anyway

Last night I pulled my fake wings off

threw them in the bin

I have new ones growing now

slowly


And the scars only burn

while the new growth breaks through






Not a very good poem I know, but it means well :)
