Today I Am a Sparrow
February 8, 2017
Today, I am a broken-winged sparrow,
Barreling at breakneck speed
Toward no discernible target.
Catapulted off course by a snag in my side,
Unable to breathe for even a moment
I am aching against the aerodynamics,
Destroying my already injured wing
And rapidly unraveling my perfect flight.
I am choked where most birds would sing
I am aching
Because I should have control,
And I do not.

Your words are passionate and express a soul's deep longing for understanding. Our flights are not always perfect but we keep trying and survive if we persevere.
Welcome to HubPages! I sense the speeding and the struggling of your soul in flight: barrelling, catapulting, unraveling and finally aching. Yes, some control might help. Good read!
