Broken wing.
It made no sense to stay,this boy with a broken wing.
All his skies turned to gray,
the birds just didn't sing.
He put on a full disguise,
and wore a phony smile.
But people would soon figure it out,
this could only last a while.
Eventually he'd be forced to climb off his horse,
and take off his shining armor.
To reveal who he truly was,
to himself, that was no charmer.
He found himself to be unimportant,
to him, it all just made so much sense.
So he suddenly gave up,
decided to put down all defense.
To let people see inside of his soul,
to break down all 4 walls.
They came tumbling down immediately,
as fast as he began to fall.
He wanted her so bad,
but she started to make things hard.
So he was left with a broken heart,
left with a million scars.
She told him that she loved him,
and he would treasure those 3 words.
But she left so suddenly,
he feared those words would never be heard.
It hurt to know, to realize,
that he was quickly changing.
Some people didn't like who he'd become,
so he needed rearranging.
Quickly he lost friends,
and his parents lost hope.
He didn't want to endure anymore,
it was much to hard to cope.
It was the bottle that he turned to,
the bottle that would take it all away.
It seemed to be his only choice,
he didn't want to stay.
With no hand to reach out too,
no one to understand.
He placed the first pill upon his palm,
in his trembling hand.
He'd heard about failed attempts,
and the pain that came before.
But he didn't care as long as he got away,
he just couldn't take anymore.
And with a whisper of goodbyes,
to his loved ones and friends.
He realized that he would soon see black,
it would soon be the end.
It didn't take to long,
for him to realize what he had done.
He had tried to find the impossible,
and tried to hide who he'd become.
So with the smiles he used to smile,
and the songs he used to sing.
He realized he had tried to jump off the bridge of happiness,
and fly with a broken wing.
