Wings

You broke my wings

You dragged me down

With every word you let me down

Nearly touching the ground

I knew what I had to do

Escape from you

Yet I kept listening to your lies

Staring death right in the eye

You dropped me down a cliff

Down in the water

I couldn't breathe

 

**Still under deep water

I try to find my way out of the dark**

 

On the edge of the cliff I imagine

You watched me fall with a smirk

I can still see the smile on your face

It was my turn to fly

But you cut out my wings and threw me down

Give me back my freedom

I've been drowning for too long,

Release me now

I would do anything to swim back out

A year ago I found my way back out. Tonight I found this poem and realized how far I have come. You didn't destroy me.
