Truths, as I know them...

X

Great wings can give flight

Or they can encumber

You must fall from

To fall into

There is no recompense

For the loss of one's self-respect

There are few things I understand

Including my failures

You always get

What's coming to you

One can never know

What secrets are kept from them

We must leave to our will

Those things for which we are unwilling

I know my heart will offer up its answers

Even when unquestioned

If you take your eye off the ball,

It will likely just bounce off your head

To love someone unconditionally

Is to throw one's reckoning to the ground

If you lean into the wind

Be sure to have your wings on

When you climb up, the view is better
But the fall lasts longer

When you make big mistakes

You make smaller ones next time

Our armour protects us from a myriad of things
Most of which is feeling

Least of which is pain

When we dare to dream

We should check if we are sleeping
