Oh Little Swan
You have been hurt
By the touch
Of the vicious man

Oh Little Swan
The things you would do
For the love of your life
His smile and eyes blue

Oh Little Swan
Your fragile body
Vanishes into thin air
With every turn

Oh Little Swan
You long to be free
From memories of  
Anguish and misery

But this day
Will never come
Dry your tears
Little Swan
Smile and say your goodbyes
On this cold, dark day
I wrote this poem after I read Flightless Bird and got inspired by the story.
Nisha Dec 2021
Dreams and goal that never existed
Loving the peace of living freely without expectations and limitations
Unable to picture what my future might be

Never thinking I'd make it this far
Stuck standing still when everyone else is moving

Feeling left behind
failing to catch up
No dreams in sight
A bird without wings
▪-▪
Nonexistent Dreams...

— The End —
