Remember When

Remember when

I was a girl

So innocent

Frail and lovely

Without a fear

That no one knew.

I could not be

Alone for long

But soon enough

I realized that

I truly was alone.

Remember now

Those days of old

When I could see

My dad and smile.

But then I saw

What he was like

And soon began

Years of hating

That man who made me smile.

Remember when

I turned away

From the taunting

Of those others;

Even people

Who were to be

My closest friends.

I learned to hate

And was alone

Truly alone

In a way that

No one would understand.

Remember when

I was broken

And no person

Could heal my wings

So I was stranded

Unfamiliar

In this strange world.

Engulfed was I

By all these words

That I could say

But was desperate

To create on paper.

Remember when

I became healed

By a new man

Who made me smile

And also cry,

Who made it so

My dear mother

Could love again.

No longer lost

And not stranded

I found my wings

So I could fly

And take my place in life.

Remember now

Who I became

Never alone

With a small smile

Not just for me

But others, too.

The once lonely

Person I was

Changed in those years

And became beautiful.

Remember now

These white, spread wings

Cannot be harmed

While I can smile

Even if I

Remember when

I could not fly

Because I will

Look towards the heavens.

Kanna-sama: Interpret as you will. I was reminiscing, frustrated with this upcoming fall, so there is a hidden meaning to the concept of having wings: you just have to wonder about it. Please leave a review, telling me how you liked it. Ciao!
