Concrete Wings

There was light that was revoked
Shattered are all my dreams

Now I sit in silence with the noises in my head
Fighting the demons eating me inside out
Sense tells me to thrust ahead
But the self hate thrashes about

Wings flapping, trying to break free
Cemented onto the ground crying out pleas
Nipping at the fruit of the poisonous tree
The whip of the wind feeling absentee

I spread my wings to take flight
Only to fall and fail
Everything in me feels like darkest night
I can never prevail

So here I stand-helpless and broke
Stuck with concrete wings
