WITHOUT WINGS

she pretends to be like the others

she wants to be normal

sometimes she wishes the pain would stop

she secretly hopes for a day when nothing will matter

and pain is only a game played by her heart

she knows that people love her

but she wonders how much

if hurting her is so easy for them to do

she's an angel trapped without wings

only wanting to get away from here

and in her heart of hearts she believes

that one day she will fly

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this after I had a huge fight with my sister I think I was 17...she bought me a book and pen to make up...this is the first and only poem I ever wrote in it...
