My Wings Are Bruised But Not Broken

You kicked me down and beat me 
senseless,
Yet I live to tell the tale.
Your goal was to break me and leave me 
lifeless,
But you did not prevail.
 
You wish the worst for me.
You made my every nightmare come true,
But I survived and I am free,
And there is nothing you can do.

My wings are bruised but not broken.
My wounds will heal,
And you will be forgotten.
I’ll soar in the sky and you won’t take me 
down.
My wings are bruised but not broken.

My tears have shed,
And my cuts have bled,
But I am not dead,

I’m like a bird in the sky,
And you’re like dirt on the ground.
I shall forever fly,
And you are forever earth bound

My wings were bruised but not broken.
My wounds are healed,
And you are forgotten.
I soar in the sky and you can’t take me 
down.
My wings were bruised but not broken.
