Broken Wings
I still smile and I still laugh
But I'm older than I was before
I can't always be the optimistic one
Especially when everything's being
Thrown at me so quickly
I offer my best advice
A few hugs and a kiss will suffice
I don't ask for a thank you
Or even want to be noticed for
Any good deeds I may have done
Sometimes I just need a rest from the world
I need some time to be on my own
I'm always surrounded by people I love
Not that I mind,I just need my own time
Everything that's getting thrown at me
Is tearing up my white,feathery wings
I try to stand strong and be the guardian
If too much more's placed on me then
I'm going to break
My wings are broken and torn to shreds
I won't give up,I'm not like that
They can't see anything past my smile
It's what encourages them to go the extra mile
Healing the wounded,guiding the next angel
My to-do list is never ending
I'm going to protect my family and friends
Even if it means offering my soul to the devil
That's just who I've always been
Trials roll into me and I'm on the offensive
To answer each question
I'll save a life or two and
Lose one in the process it weighs heavy on me
But I must press on
I'm needed by all as if they were my children
I must rid of these broken wings or
They'll surely slow me down and
Cause me to perish
The cuts are deep,but none are aware
Although I'm standing right beside them
Love is my motivation to do what's right
Hope is my guidance into the light
Courage is needed to show who you are inside
I try to enforce this to everyone
It seems to work because I'm the shoulder they lean on
I'm fragile as can be though
It's not something that's easily seen from me
Others are before my own personal necessaties
I'll keep pushing on with these broken wings
Their not as perfect as they used to be
But if I focus on the problems ahead
They won't seem so heavy and I won't
Feel as dead as they've turned out to be
One day I'll find the time to mend my
Broken Wings.
