I can forget to move my wings loose my balance high in the air shoot my eyes open to be aware feel the air make my eyes sting feel the feathers rip one at a time dart toward the ground real fast grind my teeth hard and gasp impact the earth with a scrambled mind taste blood and tears mix together lay there in pain with broken spirit curse the sky and hope they hear it forget flight and walk forever count infinite footsteps and days lose track of myself as my heart dries feel everything ache as my soul cries stop moving and accept this way remember the passion I once felt glance back up above the hills bite my lip and think of the thrill sense the fear start to melt chip off the dry blood and tears take a deep breath and climb the peak check to see if the wings are weak smirk at the sight so clear lift my chin and close up my eyes leap off the top with strong wings listen attentively as the wind sings stay in motion to reclaim the skyBirth sign: Sagittarius
