Why am I all alone?
I haven't done anything wrong,
Have I?
Or is it because I exist.
So what.
I have wings.
I can fly.
No biggie.
But still, why did they do it?
I hope, I pray,
They won't come back again.
I was nothing more than a dog on a leash,
At least back then, anyway.
But still, why me?
I'm only young.
Not even a teenager yet.
And I'm all alone.
So I'm sitting at this lake,
Even the water doesn't want me.
I feel like throwing this horrid lead in.
But I can barely move.
Why must I always cry?
I know I'm only a little girl.
With wings.
So much has happened.
Four words changed my life.
The people I ran/flew away from said them.
You can not escape.

You have a very beautiful poem here but I don't get the wings part. Is it just to let the reader know there is a psychical difference that people are judging? It was a good poem, though!
