At times my back hurts so bad I think it’s gonna cripple me
But recently,
Feeling that ripping in my back as I work
having felt it rip through me making me wonder if my back will explode
Explode in the pain of years…
I realize that the back pain isn’t from working so hard
It’s the pain of
Wings
The growing pain of wings
Wings trying to grow through my back
Explode through the flesh and skin
Wings that want to fly me away…
Away from the pain of this working man’s life.
