DERAILED

Minds eye now
I am a crow
I cannot fly
I cannot go
Once true and proud
Solitary
Free
Life's burdens now
Have captured me
Clawing helpless
Wings impaled
On life's silver spike
I am
Derailed
See it coming
Huge wingspan
Engulfed in shadow
Help 
Or harm?
Floundering broken
Terrified too
Wonder will life
Or death
Win through
Resigned and calm
I have no fight
My blood will 
End
This tortured night
(Marion Price) 2018
