I had made wings to fly
Wings of dreams and hopes.
Now I have chained them up.
Without care - they rot.
Built of light they were
Bright, open, buoyant.
Today, clipped, dirty, heavy
Unable to unfurl.
My fault, all my fault
Chains - doubts, perceptions.
I know the need to take
A Leap of Faith.
Yet, am too afraid, so tied to Earth.
The beckoning air seems distant.
I need to fly - now. Now!
Or I might never take flight ever.
-Dishna Phukan
