growing wings

as I walk on this earth
the ground under me starts to crumble
I run towards my loved one
But let out a shriek as I tumble

She tells me to hold on
to hold tight and stay
that it will get so much better
as the grip starts to fade away

'I need to do this!'
I scream as wings grow
on my back and
I fly up in the skies so high
and safely I can stand!

I hold her in my arms
and show her my true self
once hidden away behind a mask
like a book hidden on a shelf

Danielle, I want to thank you
for everything that you so far have done
I will forever love you for what you have done for me
you are, and will forever be my only one!
