Get Me Through This Day

I always thought my dreams

would be

enacted on

to set me free

But I'm waiting

while my wing mends

it broke when I hit

going 'round the bend

I'm powerless

to all the pain

I want it to be

fine again

So I can fly

and amidst my resentment

confined to this nest

I cannot see

what may be best

quite possibly

I'm pining

and I'm struggling

I'm asking

will I ever be

The same again?

I'm on my knees

I feel that I have worked so hard

so why am I still breathing weak?

I feel as though

the futures' bleak

Oh, God; please tell me it's ok

Just help me

Get me through this day
