Been a while... Week 1 of my Weekly Poem!
I wish I could be

Like a bird, with

Wings that flap and

Carry me farther away then ive

Ever been



I am tired of being

Me because all I do

Is bring pain where I

Want to bring smiles

And that’s

Not right



I wish that I could

Transform into someone else

Something else

Because being me has

Lost it's appeal



I don’t help

Anymore all I do is

Hurt and that’s not what

I want to do I want

Everyone to smile and

Laugh and

Be happy but



No one can be happy with me

Around because all I do is break

Hearts that I didn’t want

They were given to me with a

No return sticker and



All I can do is hope

Not to break them but

Im not very good at that

So there's no reason to

Hope youre better off praying or

Just taking it back



Because I cant

Help you and you cant help

Me and it's going too far

Now I wish you could

Stop me but you

Cant control me

Anymore



Im sorry but

Now im floating above

You my own wings

Unfolded and keeping me

Safe and away from

Your talons of

Pain and your

Buffets of sadness



Blown up to meet

Me

But I will fly

Ever higher

Alight on wings that

Unfolded from my back and

Pushed me from this

Sad existence



Because all

Of me

Yearns to be

Happy but if im

Tethered here

How could I

Be?
