Having No Wings Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Hurting deeply within, love abandoning and leaving
me in throes of loss and grief, now drowning in a
mire of sadness and sorrow.

Never finding a reprieve in this life, existing in
time frames of another dimension away from everyone
else.

Being touched by tears that just won't stop flowing,
constantly taking me into oceans of emotion, over-
flowing and covering me entirely.

Wanting to soar above it like a sea gull, but having
no wings to do so, turning inside out, having nowhere
to go, falling beneath waves of remorse.

Life is never going to be the same again, taking my
mind and burying me forever, never really living on
this earth.
