Literary: A Feeling

A giant pegasus broke its left wing,
Unable to fly and move—losing the hope of
Moving on.
The pegasus wanted to go to the east,
To find his purpose,
To make a new life,
And to search for a nurse that could heal his broken wing.
Unable to flinch,
One crocodile went near the pegasus,
Making the pegasus feel uncomfortable and scared,
Scary, pegasus says in his mind.
For he thinks it’s impossible to win against him.
Looking at the crocodile’s figure—
Pegasus thought:
Huge, masculine… But at the same time,
He looks empty.
“I’m as broken as you, fellow pegasus,”
Crocodile muttered under his breath, scaring the pegasus.
“How did you know that I’m broken?”
The Pegasus asked, completely clueless.
“Your wings,”
The crocodile said,
“It’s broken, pegasus. However, the level of brokenness between us isn’t the same.”
Confused, Pegasus continued to ask more questions.
“What do you mean, crocodile?”
“You’re broken physically,”
Crocodile said quietly.
“I’m broken emotionally.”
Pegasus was speechless.
The silence between them was awkward.
He doesn’t even know what to say
For he has not experienced emotional brokenness.
“You know,”
Crocodile huffed,
“there really are things that don’t go as planned
as we thought it would be.”
