There is fate and destiny
There is inheritance and doom
I try to bleed my burdens
and fail behind the pen
I close my eyes
Time closes her eyes
A tear sneaks through
as my lips purse
I sing softly serenading
myself pretending
the world joins in and sway with me
As we sing together
For the sake of togetherness
Because we are not alone
                                          We are all one
Dancing in the clouds together
                                           We are free
Living in fantasy and fiction and fulfillment
                                           (Yet)We are grounded
by our own ROLES AND LABELS AND
STEREOTYPES AND INTOLERANCE
Time awakens
                                       She opens her eyes
I open my eyes
                                      To count the lines
in the mirror and carry a load
                                       far too heavy
for these wings.
