Prodigy



I wish you could see
My soul shaking to music
I wish you could see
My fingers going frantic

Moulding my brokenness into movements
Holding my strength by a string
Ready to accept abandonments
The flames in me slowly blazing

I wish I had not bitten my own tail
Fantasy could have been reality
Exhale
You will never be a prodigy
