Beetle

Wings are no good if you land on them. You fall to the ground under the floodlight. The armor you insist upon carrying must be too heavy. If what you fear is the landing, then stay in flight. It hurts me to watch you like this, legs looking for anchor to flip you right. Look, I know what it’s like to see the world upside down, waiting for someone to fix you.
