Dead Weight Comes as a Disguise

Poems from My Seasons

By Casey StewartPublished 8 years ago 1 min read

She had wings

Wings of steel

Everyone would say to her,

You can fly.

Look at your wings, so full of might

They shine.

You can be free,

You are free

To fly.

But her wings of steel

They held her down

On the ground she stood

They made her sink

For her, they're no good.

These wings of steel,

They keep her still

Their beauty,

It is not real.

These wings can shine,

They look so nice

But wings of steel,

Can never take flight.
