A Poetic Commentary: Melondy Pt 2
Give Them Wings
“and they will fly”

the road to Happiness
certainly not the one they put me on
and they wonder why I don’t respond!

we don’t see it the same
and they say I’m the one to blame!

despite my opinions, much to my chagrin

and it never wants to stop
even if I drop…

one I know I have to pay
but is it worth everything they say?

this cage that drowns me beneath the never-
ending waves

this ship’s capsized over me
it’s no whale of a time in this sea
