How I Feel Inside

I have done all I am able to do,

I have done as much as I can,

But I still feel I am not through.

I ask and I ask and I ask why

I cannot spread my wings,

No matter what I do, I cannot seem to fly.

No matter what I do, I cannot get off the ground.

I try and I try and I try,

But everyone keeps pushing me back down.

I feel my life is not complete,

But I cannot see what I am missing.

I consider this life nothing but a deceit

I have tried to fight fiercely,

But I feel I am not strong enough,

For I wish to end this fight shortly.

I know I need assistance,

And I have wished for it many times,

But all that is offered is absence.

I think I will give in.
