Harder than I expected By aldo kraas, www.PoetryPoem.com/poet11586 Unlock all Features - Upgrade to Poetry Prime
The damage is worse
Than I expected
My wings have been ripped
Violently from my back
In this world of perfect crashing
And unremitting burning
There is no stitch
Capable of fixing me now
Every time
I dust myself off
There's a slinking shadow
That stares me down
Every moment
I pleaderased from memory
Returns with the vengeance
Of a scorned partner in crime
A step forward
Is a downed power line
A step back
Is a jagged precipice
A step to my right
Is a barbed wire sanctuary
A step to my left
Is the path of least resistance
But the choice remains harder
Than I expected
