"Hope in despair."


Through strength and courage
I dream to fly
my wings broken
I am tired of another try
but the thought never dies

From misery they say
comes light
I have seen it all now
but the light..
where is god?
the justice long awaited?

Is this the truth
the darkness I know
or is this a prelude
to even more now
tell me O' god
if you are for real
why i deserved
to be here, in this cage,
this world of yours
is a sinful place

If this is where
I ought to die
then I'd rather say
life wasnt
worth this try

I know all this
And still try
my wings broken
I am tired of another try
but the dream of
freedom keeps me alive

wow! I am tempted to comment on this. Your poem reminded me of one my favorite pink floyd number 'Learning to Fly'......there is amazing similarity between the two! Great!

Here are few lines:

A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

is so like:

I know all this
And still try
my wings broken
I am tired of another try

hats off to you:)
