A Borrowed Sky

Edgar_NiyaPoe

From soaring among the eagles
she descended
not by choice but by 
the burden of not being

Oh how she used to hurdle across
high and mighty
for now to shiver
low and hollow

Success she defined
failure she earned
but now its all a blur
just the tip of the iceberg

Grounded now,
she races with the mortals
numb and confined 
she holds herself

As night passes by 
she glares with a mirrored eye
at the stars that whispered
"wish u had said goodbye"

The dreams that once used to swirl among the galaxies 
now rejoiced by the black hole

Which sky would she soar among now?
