Feel the wings at my back
Forcing me onward
Shattered my mask
Lying broken on the floor
Pick up the pieces
Keep moving on
Sharp edged crumbling porcelain
Red ribbons fill my hands
Reminds me a little
Of the hole in my chest
My heart on the ground
Shattered like all the rest of everything
Walls of my world
Come tumbling down
Find it heard to breath
While my head spins 'round
Wings at my back
Push me forward no longer
Sink back into my past
Feels like I'm trapped under water
Tears run down my face
Harsh as acid tinged rain
Mingling with waves of sorrow
Salt that intensifies all the pain
Flay my flesh
With your kind words
Instead of making it better
You're making it hurt
You stole my wings
But I can't hate you
Turn your back if you will
To me it's still the same
Forcing me onward
Shattered my mask
Lying broken on the floor
Pick up the pieces
Keep moving on
Sharp edged crumbling porcelain
Red ribbons fill my hands
Reminds me a little
Of the hole in my chest
My heart on the ground
Shattered like all the rest of everything
Walls of my world
Come tumbling down
Find it heard to breath
While my head spins 'round
Wings at my back
Push me forward no longer
Sink back into my past
Feels like I'm trapped under water
Tears run down my face
Harsh as acid tinged rain
Mingling with waves of sorrow
Salt that intensifies all the pain
Flay my flesh
With your kind words
Instead of making it better
You're making it hurt
You stole my wings
But I can't hate you
Turn your back if you will
To me it's still the same

This is very well written, but I must say, the fourth, fifth, and sixth stanzas don't live up to the first three, which are just wonderful. In all reality, you could've stopped there, but I like what you did with it after those three. It feels forced toward the end, especially the last stanza, feels like you were finished with it and fished for a way to end it--but, it's great. I like this a lot, very good stuff.
