Wings

There was a kid

He was a high school student

Friends, he had many

Grades, he was above average

He was a bright person

At least that's what his friends said


But then why

Did he suddenly

Decided to fly?

Surely he knew

That he had no wings

That he would surely fall

And fall down hard

When he jumped off

The school rooftop


It was because he believed

That he had wings

Wings that could support him

When he falls

Wings that would be there

When life gets hard

Wings that would heal him

When he's hurt


Can't you see?

Those wings

Were supposed to be his friends

But they weren't there

They were never there

When he was abused by his parents

When he got into an accident

Where were they?


That was why

In the end

He decided to gamble his life

To truly see if he had any wings
