Long ago, as I suppose many teens do, I tried to wrote poetry now and then. And then I learned to hate my poetry, and I stopped. I wonder if I could just be kind to myself and enjoy trying?

#### Will I Feel the Wind
|
||||
|
||||
I don't feel my wings.
|
||||
Have I held them stiff so long they're numb?
|
||||
Did they atrophy too far?
|
||||
Did I amputate them and forget?
|
||||
|
||||
Slicing the skin and sinew,
|
||||
rough implement cracking feathers?
|
||||
Did I scrap their sick crumpled span
|
||||
somewhere lost?
|
||||
|
||||
I used to dream of flight, soaring free.
|
||||
Dips and curls and swoops,
|
||||
graceful landings, inviting horizons.
|
||||
|
||||
But who would love my winged majesty?
|
||||
They were more danger than delight.
|
||||
More frightening than curiosity.
|
||||
More risk than promise.
|
||||
|
||||
I've long since been unconfined,
|
||||
but I'd already forgotten them.
|
||||
The familiar posture stuck,
|
||||
tucked in tight, cramped, tense, hidden.
|
||||
|
||||
Holding it that way is what's comfortable.
|
||||
I can't stretch them wide just yet.
|
||||
Muscles weak, tingling sharp as I try.
|
||||
This burning ache, is it tender love?
|
||||
|
||||
Will I feel the wind?
|
||||
Will it grace me with a lift?
|
||||
Will it hold me like a friend?
