Drowning

Floundering in the water

unable to take flight,

weighed down by heavy wings

dripping with painful things;

Tossing to and fro in a stormy sea

still unable to find strength within me

to lift my wings and fly-

so hard to even try;

I don't know where to start

or how to be,

even the stars don't motivate me;

When overcome by the mighty sea,

still,

my wings won't set me free
