Some days, we all want to give up. If we just give ourselves some time and cope, we will get through anything. Enjoy.","content":"_Wings_\n\nI cannot bear this pain   \nI no longer feel sane   \nBlood flows through my hand   \nNobody seems to understand   \nThis feathered fate lifts me   \nInto the air all will see\n\nThe words I say will crumble   \nMy life from the sky will tumble   \nI cry inside my hate   \nIt certainly must be too late   \nI can never be saved   \nThese words my life has engraved\n\nThe condition of my soul will taint   \nSuch an ugly picture I paint   \nHope has been lost to me   \nEras of time won't set me free   \nFrom the prison of my mind   \nDesperation has made me blind\n\nDeep inside I feel such shame   \nUpon myself I place the blame   \nDeath and life hang together   \nOn the weight of a single feather   \nMy thoughts rage in pain   \nI write to nothing in vain\n\nShadows cloak me as the night   \nBlack and grief with fear to fight   \nTears come and cloud my eyes   \nMy heart inside wilts and dies   \nWithout a friend I sigh and groan   \nKnowing I will forever be alone\n\nFew know the pain of rape   \nFrom your mind there's no escape   \nI let my body truly be   \nSo speak that I may feel free   \nI cannot bear the pain today   \nLet these fragile wings take me away.\n\n~bhscorch\n\n[![Creative Commons License](http://i.creativecommons.org/l/by-nd/3.0/88x31.png)](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/)  \n\"Wings\" by bhscorch is licensed under a [Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/)\n\n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"Poetry","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/364553-poem-48-inside.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/364574-poem-50-an-understanding.json"}}
