Sadness

Sadness is being born with wings,
But never meant to fly.
With potential to fulfill your dreams
You watch them slowly die.

There's a killing pain inside my soul
That always seems to capture
Emptiness inside a holeĀ 
That never can rapture.

Through the pain and torment,
I spread my wings tonight.
Spirit, treasure this moment-
The moment I take flight.

Hey, Jenna. Welcome to the CosmoFunnel Community.
I hope you enjoy your time here.

Emptiness inside a holeĀ 
That [never can] can never rapture.āž →
I really enjoyed the rhyming scheme you've utilized all throughout this emotionally driven piece. However, I was thrown a bit by the reverse syntax used in the final line of stanza two, S-2, L-4.
Consider switching the words "never can" to "can never" and see what you think...

Like the mystical Phoenix rising up from out of the ashes, so too should we when we are betrayed by someone we love.
Nicely done!
