Free bird..

I was once a free bird

With wings so beautiful and strong,

Flapping furiously

But never cautiously,

Taking me wherever my heart said

Taking me to the highest of heights, 

Where everything was just a big red bloody heart

And euphemism, 

I was a free bird, 

With mystery filling my mind,

Intelligence outflowing from my cup

I was so free, i got people dazed and transfixed 

I was a free bird 

with not a single scar on my chest, 

Until they came

They told me I was beautiful 

That my wings were the most mesmerizing thing they have ever seen,

Yet they were boiling water behind my back,

to pluck them out

They told me I fly with so much grace 

Yet they were the very storms that would separate me from the skies

They told me all i needed to hear

Holding me so warm, i felt loved, oh dear

Thats the gravity right there.

I was once a free bird

But now there is nothing left but the scars running way to deep, 

The wounds dehiscencing with every memory 

Leaving my soul in desperate need for debridement, 

one thing I know for sure is 

I want my freedom back...

I want to soar so high..
