there are no wings here anymore
slowly fading they didnt fit anyway
and i'm all too real to be anything
close to celestial or something seraphic
too many tears spill way too easily too often
every battle blindly fighting and just when i think i'm ahead
i realize the clouds somehow got stuck in my eyes again
and there is no victory in lost daydreams
it's all too real and so am i
it's all so hard and i'm too soft
left to wonder
if i ever really flew
in the first place
or just rose
from a puddle
of sadness
