You sew your wings of self love

When you opened your eyes that morning, 

you saw that they'd cut your wings

And threw you in a cage, starving you of all that you loved 

Craving you of who you so boldly were

Locked you in a cellar, and burnt your wings of passion

Ablazed your white dress, and filled your wardrobe with black ones

seared your body with self-hatred

sew in your skin self harm

And everytime you looked in their eyes

They'd whip your arms and pinch your skin

They cut your river-like hair till your ears

They'd bleed you with cuts, and laugh to your cries

But oh my darling at night, you fused every atom you found

Picked yourself from the slag they left you in

Looked at the moon and threaded your own needle

And sew your dress of bravery and self love

For when the sun will rise

You'll emerge in your shift of courage, long it's trail of valour 

With your scars shining so bright, the sun'll look pale

And one day they will look back,

And when they shall,

They'll see your wings unfurl 

Of self love and gustiness

Of the luminescence mankind looked for in every open area

They'll see your pinon unfurl,

For you shall have sewn 

Your own wings of  self love
