This is a poem about emotional escape. Some days, we all want to give up. If we just give ourselves some time and cope, we will get through anything. Enjoy.

_Wings_

I cannot bear this pain   
I no longer feel sane   
Blood flows through my hand   
Nobody seems to understand   
This feathered fate lifts me   
Into the air all will see

The words I say will crumble   
My life from the sky will tumble   
I cry inside my hate   
It certainly must be too late   
I can never be saved   
These words my life has engraved

The condition of my soul will taint   
Such an ugly picture I paint   
Hope has been lost to me   
Eras of time won't set me free   
From the prison of my mind   
Desperation has made me blind

Deep inside I feel such shame   
Upon myself I place the blame   
Death and life hang together   
On the weight of a single feather   
My thoughts rage in pain   
I write to nothing in vain

Shadows cloak me as the night   
Black and grief with fear to fight   
Tears come and cloud my eyes   
My heart inside wilts and dies   
Without a friend I sigh and groan   
Knowing I will forever be alone

Few know the pain of rape   
From your mind there's no escape   
I let my body truly be   
So speak that I may feel free   
I cannot bear the pain today   
Let these fragile wings take me away.
