her head is filled with stars
entire galaxies swirling in her brain
she longs to fly into the cosmos
but is anchored down by a ball and chain
flying is taboo they say
bring your head down from the clouds
and over time she became ashamed
of her wings that had once made her proud
one by one her feathers fall
as she tries to find her place
and her dreams turn to salty tears
and fade as they stream down her face
the love and magic fade from her eyes
and are replaced with self-hate
society has destroyed this fallen angel
now she will never be the same
