BROKEN WINGS

I lived in vain, cold and despair
For the time I woke, no one cared
Left alone in this dark world
I join my hands, with fear and cold.

With wounded, numb and injured hands,
I tripped and landed in your arms
I opened my eyes and looked at you
For you were an angel, I fell for you.

You broke my heart and tore me apart,
And crushed my soul, in tears and fear
For you weren’t an angel but just a fake
Who came in my life as a game.

You were my wings that helped me fly,
Helped me soar high up in the sky
But now my wings broke with gain,
And I fell down with much pain.

My broken wings broke my heart,
Still broken, never making a start
Every time I try to fly, in haste I fall,
Without my wings I feel so small.

The beautiful wings won the race,
And left me staring at my own face
The broken wings of my dreams,
Mourning with a silent scream.

LIFTING A DREAM

I look at the world
And see everything dancing
Caught up in a swirl
And always advancing

This is the world,
Where I dare not to exist
Where promises are just words
And there still are racists
Where the right to dreams
Are only for the chosen
Where the poor man’s screams
Are half way frozen
I look through my window
At the clear starry sky
Heart saddened for the low
And angered for the high
I notice a helpless child
Walking down the pavement
Shivering with cold and fright
With no one for encouragement
I fight back the tears
That flow for that boy
Breaking my fears,
I venture for the joy
Which I get from helping
Every poor man
With no regrets dwelling
By bringing him to my land
But first I thank HIM
For every step near
To raise someone’s dream
By answering his prayers.
