Wings

When you learn to say NO,Your victories turn to be over lastingFamily, neighborhood, city and the whole worldAre all mistaken,LiarsThey hate youOnly your tears are honestListen only to them,Let their Fingernails be instilled into your woundsLet them yell at your faceTelling you about your mistakesLet truth take your shaky mind into its handsStare at your misery distress, overindulgingFeel your breakdowns, to the brimResort to GODThen, stand uprightWaiting for your next battleOn your waist, you are holding your swordThe sword, that made you matureWhen you come back victorious,Life will accept you with open arms,Delightful smile, magic eyesAnd a soft hand that will hangLove badge over your chest
