Brave Wings

Brave Wings

 

I'm fumbling stumbling under the cracks. 

Got weight in my head and weight on my back. 

Gotta wait for a break to spill it all out. 

Rather than keep it in and forever say nout

I'mma fly up high or fall to the ground. 

For my wings of bravery have now been found. 

Gotta spill out my lies. 

Gotta spill out my truths. 

Gotta fill in my cracks. 

And build up past the roof. 

Gotta heal my ill

I'll fill what I lack. 

Or ignore it completely. 

Just gotta stop looking back. 

And flap beyond the gaps and back out again. 

Of the cracks that my feathers of brave will mend. 

I don't give a fuck anymore. 

About my flaws in design. 

For I design myself. 

Without an undo at all. 

But still I can fix it by not fixing it at all. 

When I look back at it I'll see the signs. 

The contrast from before and after fall. 

And this change is all just mine. 

I own what I won. 

Now i win by winning. 

And by losing I will see the improvement I am beginning. 

Stunning that I had broke without any cracks at all. 

Now I patched them all up and no longer crack at all. 

For when I crack I fill it in quick. 

So I don't spiral down into the infinite abyss. 

And even if i do

That's okay. 

For I will fly back up. 

With the wings of the brave.

    There is reflection in this poem of one's strengths as well as weakness' Nicely written

      Thank you, what is your opinion on my logo (image attached at top)

      • sorenbarrett

        You are most welcome. The image attached at the top of the poem appears to be a candle flame and its contrasting bright center with black surrounding draws attention and focus. It seems metaphoric of light in darkness or knowledge out of a void. Now if you meant your personal logo I love the color in that blue has always been a personal preference and in this case the vagueness of the image contained gives a mysterious sense to it.

          That image at the top is a candle flame, with a phoenix at the bottom of it.

          My profile picture is feathers falling under the sea

            I like the idea of the candle flame with a phoenix it is mythical and has a message that is hopeful.
