Falling for the Millennuim Time



I find myself falling. Falling for the millennium time only this time I saw clearly who knocked me down. I thought I would be relieved to know who had been making me fall so many times but instead sadness engulfed me. For my wings had been cut off and once again I felt as if I was in captivity. The same people who had once encouraged me to use my wings and fly far with them, where the ones who have been cutting my wings and strapping weights on me. As I fell to the ground I heard them laughing. I stood up and picked up my wings holding back my tears. I couldn’t believe that those who have once told me that they would never harm me were the ones who were hurting me the most.
