In My Wings

By Shreya Hooda

In my wings 
I take pride.
In the blue
When i see them spread
I see my strength.

With them,
I pine to sore high and beyond.

In them i put faith and trust.

Since the day
My shell cracked,
My comfort collapsed,
And I was to face the endless,
I had my wings
And I saw no fear.

Today,
I am weak and senile.
Yet I fly above.
I see from afar
The nest I left
Boldly and confidently.


It was me. I realise.

The strength was never within my wings.
I believed I could fly,
And that drove them to reach for The heights.

The strength,
In fact
Was in my belief.
