Do you see?

Do you see?! Do you see?!
Do you see these wings on my back?
They say they are beautiful, Elegant even.
That’s not what I see.
In my eyes they are ugly and tattered.
Unfit to be seen by the world, for they may disgust.
Yet you keep telling me your version.
That they are fine and nothing’s wrong with them.
But I don’t believe you,
And there are others who don’t believe you either.
With their wings so pretty they see what I see.
It will only take a couple more of them,
To confirm my suspicions and throw me over the edge.
Where at the bottom I will lay broken.

The question is……
Do you believe them?
Or me?

Wow. That is actually how my character (and myself) feels. I can totally understand. Wings whether beautiful or ugly will always be able to fly. Some will only fly higher than others. I think if you know who you are, there should be nothing and I mean nothing to hold you back.

thank you.....sometime I want to believe people but it's hard. the pain is so deep rooted.

I know how you feel, and I can relate to that poem. But there are others out there who will believe whoever's saying your wings are beautiful. You just have to find them...
