My mistake?

Broken wing

On the ground

Hopeless efforts to crawl

Efforts to 'do this on my own'

To fly,to prove wrong

The 'I' not 'we' did it

I want..scratch that,

I need help

Mere steps and few moments from complete misery

Damn clock won't stop ticking

And the taste of victory is foreign

I want to stand

I need to stand

I won't hold up a sign 'Help me'

Arrogant sometimes when I see a helping hand

Pity pennies in my hand

Feel like such a burden

But when you see me on the ground

Overlook what I've done

Please help me stand
