“Wings”

Khatoon Hazara

 

 

Like a bird; I wanted to fly

Like a bird; I wanted to soar and hope

Like a bird

Like a … bird

With

Wings

 

 

I’d dream about going to the clouds

And telling them about myself

Once I realized I didn’t know who that was, I fell

From the sky, my grace left me

I was delivered one place and my grace; another

Me and my grace; my grace and I

 

 

My … grace

Was happy elsewhere; not with me

I was supposed to have protected it; saved it from immorality

My grace; I was to have protected it from wandering off into the unknown

The unknown; my grace was afraid of it the most

Before it left, my grace told me never to question anything

And I agreed; never bowing my head to no one

But after my grace left me, I stared into the sky

That’s how I passed the time

 

 

That’s how I passed the time

…

Alone
