Still I Will Fly”

Still I Will Fly”

I lost myself into love’s embrace,

forgot my name, my time, my place.

I gave too much, too fast, too deep,

and left my soul in silence… sleep.

But now I feel a whisper’s call,

to rise again, though I may fall.

I have one wing, the other’s torn,

but still—I rise, though bruised and worn.

I’ll fly without the things I lack,

and on the wind, I’ll bring me back.

I’ll find the girl I left behind,

and teach her how to bloom, to shine.

Not as the world told me to be…

but as the fire that lives in me.

I won’t need wings to touch the sky—

I’ll build my truth.

And still, I’ll fly.
