Wasteland
I tread a barren wasteland,
where all i see is the outline of a civilization made by man.
creatures offer me help,
but i push them away in fear of being accepted into their tribe
only to be made into a sacrifice.
i sip poisoned waters
with a goal to survive
but also with a hope to tak my broken wings and fly
to an oasis i may only tread when I die.
