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.

    The four gas stations on each of the corners

    Hover over the town,

    But they don’t define it.

    It doesn’t define us,

    Neither does the churches

    With clipped voices and narrowed eyes.

    Four more months till the lines of work-

    The coding of my life in word form-

    Molds into a steel cage.

    The cage's walls lined with a maze of puzzles,

    Answers tucked between my ears.
