Save

Save

My knees are not responding

Help! Help. Help... help?

My knees are not responding

My body doesn't recognize orders

And my soul is way too far from me.

Help. Help... can anyone hear me?



Help.

My voice is gone and no one listens

I scream over and over again

And my lungs already stop bombing

Wait, I mean my heart is not working

My knees, my lungs, my heart

Everything seems to be broken.


How can this darkness hug me?

I feel its tenderness even if it scares me.

Look, I am growing while crying

My legs are getting longer

I feel so much taller

Has this world always been so welcoming?


My hands. My hands are still shaking

Good Lord, I am so confused. Save me.

Save me? Save me! Save me! Save me.

I am scared. Hold my hand and show me.

My long legs are trembling due to weakness

Am I weak? No, I am just a novice.


I didn't have classes to fight novel problems

I learned to write, to read, add and substract

But you can't substract yourself from life when failing

Am I a failure or just a bad student?

Always bringing my mom disappointing eighteens

Never a twenty girl as I should have been.


But my legs are longer and I am still moving

I am one inch closer to the sky and growing

I cry every night to sleep because it hurts me

“Growing pains” are called nothing more, nothing less.

Then I will reach the sky while falling

I learned the hard way that I, too, got wings.
