Flightless Bird Part 2 (New Wings)

You wouldn't understand because you cannot see them. 
 
Only those with truth have that privilege. Only those with honor behold their majesty. 
 
New wings God gave to me. What I lost I gained in double measure. The portion is greater 
 
then what you could ever offer. 
 
Joy and laughter take over me because of your confused expression. You're stunned by my 

 
restoration. My rejuvenation. My drive. My new found dedication. 
 
 
Flightless you desired me to be, but the truth is you helped me shed my old skin to become astonishing. 
 
 
You messed up. You hurt the wrong one. This flightless bird has grown up. This flightless 
 
 
bird now has a song to sing and boy can she sang. 
Victory is her name.  
 
 
Never will you clip her wings again. Never will you prey on her weak soul.  
 
 
For it is strong. It is resilient. As hard as stone.  
 
 
This is your end. Farewell to you. Your foolish plan got me something brand new.
