PAPER WINGS

[abmakko]

My wings are decorated with fancy and delicate,
I look so lovely in your screen of perception.
My wings are clothed in mache of deception,
My wings are an illusion of what I create.

My wings are a necessity for my image.
My wings are my picture and visage.

My wings are a mirror of my creation,
You see what I want you to see.
I soar as the legend of Icarus,
Until the rains of truth fall rigorous.

I am hit with a dose of reality,
It feels like dropping wax on nerve endings,
Bitter rain droplets exposing my paper wings.

I walk on ground exposed and vulnerable,
Looking for a place of refuge for the disabled.
With the fear of rejection and battered wings.
I look for more sheets for my paper wings.

Classy that! Some great imagery.
I guess we all have our illusory wings until they’re soaked by the rains of reality.

This is very powerful!

It feels like dropping wax on nerve endings,
Bitter rain droplets exposing my paper wings.
