Rule with one wing
March 8, 2013
I close myself off
and look through the glass,
how have I stayed pure
in the past?
Can I run from demons inside
or can I be excorsied
with holy water or
with the fire?
I look around the dark
I look through the glass
all I see are shades
and wraiths haunting me.
I long to be free and long to fly high
but can you, with one wing, rule the sky?

thanks so much, always great to hear feedback. i liked the demon and angel imagery, sorta emphasises the degradation of purity of youth to the corruption of darkness in life. sorry went kinda deep there.
