I wish I had a cure
A potion that can heal a broken soul
I wish I had all the answers,
to questions God himself can’t answer
I wish I knew the secret,
so, my heart can rest easy
Don’t look at me like I’m insane
I can see pity in your eyes as if I’m a bird with a broken wing
I’m still flapping my broken wing, so spare me the sympathy
I don’t want you to lecture me on happiness
Because you only find it in wine and sex
Don’t start feeling like you’re above me
So high no one can touch you
And you open your note book
Start jotting down some points
And I laugh mockingly
“Am I an experiment to you?” I ask
And stop you from answering
You see anger in me
Perhaps childhood issues?
And I tell you that my life is perfect
I even have a good relationship with my father
And I still talk to my mother
But you’re too persistent
Always wanting to know more
Plucking out my feathers to see what hides underneath
You want a better look at my broken wing
And you say that you’re just trying to help
I flap my wing in your face violently
And the clock ticks so slowly as if annoying me intentionally
You remain so calm and collected
I’ve turned all red
And I’m about to explode
But you don’t care if I blow up your office
“I’ve had two broken wings before” You begin to talk
“And I’ve learned that a bird needs help to learn how to fly again” you continue
So, I sit down
And the clock finally begins to tick normally again
