I look at myself in the mirror, eyes are stuck in a blank stare.
I thought to myself, “Did I really come this far?”
“Am I supposed to be here right now?”
“Do I even deserve the everything I have?”
“Do I deserve everyone I have?”
“Do I deserve you?”
I look at myself in the mirror, seeing my now broken wings.
Flightless. Helpless. Hopeless.
I really hit the ground hard, huh.
“Welp,” trying to look at myself straight in the eye, my chin up.
“I guess I’m walking, then.”
So I walk. I walk towards my destination, my plan from the very start. With or without wings.
But every step I take is excruciating. I am only meant to fly, but that doesn’t mean that I always get to.
But that also doesn’t mean that I can’t get to where I want to go.
