My Lost Wings
Is it me? The real me or is it just a great imaginary swing?
Am I here? Do I feel? Or should I pinch myself until I feel the sting?
How is it that I don't remember any single important thing?
Is it Amnesia? Or just my soul that I need to look at and dig?
It was here where we started to comprehend and think big,
That beautiful past when I felt like a queen married to a king,
Life lessons were harsh though and gave me nothing to cling,
Except for my faith that I'll go back to my sense and be strong,
Do I dare to dream, to hope, to find my lost wings?
To die is easy, it's living that I fear without a song to sing...

Thank you very much Joanna(,")
Actually it is "come back to my senses" and it was corrected like you just said by Daniel in the correction's box:)

It is a beautiful poem. In the line. 'Go back to my sense and be strong' it seems to mean 'come back to my senses and be strong' as I understand it?

I'm absolutely happy just because you're here Dorothy:) I'm not a poet either;D
Since I'm a helpless learner, I value corrections and notes even if you consider this poetry. The word "poetry" itself makes me feel I'm over the moon, as I've never imagined I'll write anything close to it! Thank you my dear friend ♥

This is a poem so there is absolutely nothing to correct. It's perfect. One could choose to change some things for stylistic or creative reasons, but no one could possibly say that anything is wrong with anything in this poem Mumtaz.
I would point out though that cling is usually used with the word "to" afterwards. One could say ...
"Life lessons were harsh and gave me nothing for (or to) which to cling"
if you wanted to get fancy and change the sound and cadence but there really is no need as it is a poem and poetic license is permitted. You capitalized Amnesia unnecessarily, but that's ok too in a poem. You started a sentence with the word "Or" but that's ok in a poem too.
Correcting poems should only be done by other poets in order to give helpful ideas and suggestions I think... and I'm no poet. :)
Brava! You've written a beautiful poem. You should be proud of yourself!
