Give Me The Wings

The fluids are slushing through my veins, 

Creeping through my blood, through my thoughts, 

Through each word I speak. 

And I am grateful because it is the fuel that gives me the ability 

To open my eyes without sleeping for a 

Bit 

Too 

Long. 

 

I want to breathe the air you claim for me 

I want to cry into your shoulders now 

To claim the gift you give me 

I want to fly, 

Higher and higher and soar just 

A little bit higher, 

So give me a chance to build some wings,  

Give me a chance to build the doors, 

Give me a chance to light up the room.

So give me the chance. 

I fly and soar through the seas 

With the lifting of vaccines 

Churning and twisting against 

Diseased beings. 

Give me the chance to not become the

percentage of the new outbreak.

    I have not put my hand over my heart in over a year because what is there to hide?

    I was born here with the blonde hair and blue eyes

    Her life flashes before my eyes

    intertwined with his chained heart

    Her smile is present even as she breathes

    1... no no no they wouldn't do this to her

    My friends are not Australia but I wish they were. Because if they were, then there would be no world where I have to save them from doom scrolling thousands of perfect bodies that a 13 year old can't and shouldn't have.
