i remember it

lost and confused
my wings are broken
i don't even know how to fly
a worn out feather
will serve as a token
to tears i cannot spare to cry

grounded again
my mind is aloft
my solitude causes this pain
i long to be high
where fears here are soft
for down here i'm caught in the rain

pondering now
my heart seeks reprieves
from troubles that branched out from mine
i grasp to let go
of lost make-believes
and stars that lost sparkle and shine
