POETRY: 'Broken Wings' by Robert Drake

I found a piece of you the
Other Day.
I think it was your pride
or maybe your confidence.
These priceless items fell out
your pocket of hidden shame
while you were running from your
PROBLEMS...
Problems that made you the person you are,
Problems, that if solved, can finally give you the
FREEDOM to move on and be the person you were
meant to be.
All you have to do is spread your
beauteous wings and swallow your pride and
REDISCOVER your confidence.
Denied by the flesh
but loved and accepted by HIM,
you still feel an emptiness in your heart.
This alienation you encumber yourself with is
UNNECESSARY pain that deter
you from achieving your own
Nirvana.
Do not flee, beautiful,
CONFRONT the pain and end
your shame.
Then, only then will you
Find the strength within
Yourself to move on
from the quicksand pit by
which you have fallen in
and walk the pathway to
TRUE HAPPINESS.
....I seek the day I stumble over
Your SHAME
but I know that once again you
will fly your broken wings.
