I have wings
But I can't fly
Even when I try
So I must climb
Find the footholds on the mountain
Use them to propel me up
Up to where I fell from
I'll fall again and again
But I must continue
Up
To where my dreams are awakened
I will climb until I have fallen to many times to count
I have wings
But I can't fly
So I'll continue to climb
With these broken wings of mine.

I'm kind of struggling with stuff in my life right now, so I wrote it down on a piece of paper.
