Little Warrior Poem by Aparna VM

The broken wing all tied up,
in the traps of no escape.
Is it a symbol,
for the struggle to be freed?
to fly?
to live?
Is it why you let half of your wing
get caught on the web?
even when you knew
you won't be able to fly,
or even live? .
Is it to show that you will not give up?
you will not get eaten up by the wrong?
was it worth it?
were you happy?
I envy you, little thing.
I acknowledge you.
'cause you were way braver
than many of us here.
Even when you have
the shortest lifespan,
you have proved yourself
to be a mighty warrior.
