Flight

On the brink
Of a Chasm of Change…
Feet Root.
Stubborn… Solid.
I urge…reason…fail.
Fear fetters Fear.
Chained I Remained-
Captive…stagnant… in pain.
Pining for Courage
To cut cords…
Lead me to leap again.
Decades of Despair dragged on and on…
Till I learnt to grow my own wings-
And become my own Beacon.
