Wings

When you learn to say NO,

Your victories turn to be over lasting

Family, neighborhood, city and the whole world

Are all mistaken,

Liars

They hate you

Only your tears are honest

Listen only to them,

Let their Fingernails be instilled into your wounds

Let them yell at your face

Telling you about your mistakes

Let truth take your shaky mind into its hands

Stare at your misery distress, overindulging

Feel your breakdowns, to the brim

Resort to GOD

Then, stand upright

Waiting for your next battle

On your waist, you are holding your sword

The sword, that made you mature

When you come back victorious,

Life will accept you with open arms,

Delightful smile, magic eyes

And a soft hand that will hang

Love badge over your chest
