To give in
would be a sin
though I'm off balance
I am still standing,
like a butterfly trapped in a jar
my wings are useless
and distorted is the view...
essential is the sequence
of running up hill just to stand still.
Everyone is pretending
nothing is what it seems
try to be a friend
get stabbed in the back
and for ever bleed,
I'm a crippled pilgrim
a cosmic psycho
never knowing what is real
but before I die
I just want to feel.

Sleep walking in the daylight
passing the time
in this cycle we call life,
I find it hard
to complete a sentence
my wings are useless
so I can't fly.
I silently scream cause I feel left out
tears of confusion
form rivers in my mind....
I want passion to explode and flow and take me
and shatter this cycle of doom
but I'm so broken and damaged
I don't know what to do.

I can relate to how you feel.
Don't worry your not alone, others are here to comfort you.
With our help, your wings will be fixed in no time.
