I thought I grew wings
Last summer
But back at school
I’m the same
Shy
Awkward
Tentative
Scared
Girl I always was
The wings I thought I’d grown
The wings that might never have been
The wings that I’d hoped would help me soar past
Prejudice
Jerks
Fear
Are gone

Hey, I feel exactly the same way!!!! during the summer I felt all confident and stuff... But I'm never going to be as outgoing as I'd like. But at least I have you!!!

Wow. That was amazing. I loved it. Isn't it sad how people can affect us, even to rip our wings from us?
Beautiful poem.
Write on.
