Given to fly

Tattooed arms and soft spoken words,

Mesmerising words of hidden secrets.

Flashes of light give a silhouette of life,

Show off to those we love and cherish.

What we were born with,

And how we've evolved.

With wings on our backs,

The days progressed slowly.

I had to reach up high,

To somehow get you back.

Flying to reach you,

Dying to reach you.

I've been up for days,

In the morning light.

Writing on the walls,

Screaming in silence.

Desperate for an answer,
Is the sky my alibi?

Autumn leaves me changing alone,

Revelling in untold confessions.

I stand alone,

On the edge of this cliff.

With tattooed arms,

I'm given to fly.
