Poetry

Withered Feather

I feel like a withered feather

Lost and powerless

On the verge of giving up all the worldly sins

I try to hold on to the fragments of my personality

The good side mostly

At least that is what I think it is

I revisit the good days

And remind myself of what I used to be

All that remains now is meekness

It troubles me greatly

I sit and ponder in wonder

How human interaction can be so taxing

The constant battle that goes on inside of my head

About all the things that go on around me

The politics of relationships

Is quite murky than the actual one

I try to rise above the feelings of worthlessness

And give myself a chance

But how hard is it for others to understand

That sometimes I feel like a withered feather

And I would like to be myself after all.
