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.
