fallen angel - a poem Hope you enjoy!
"You're an angel" They said. Do they ever know that, I am broken inside. I'm an angel with my face behind a mask, Muted with shame I can't name. Like my lips were sealed by stitches and threads, For I'm the one to blame. I'm an angel without its wings, weak, pathetic, and small. Writing is my only escape, To lift me up from the fall. I know how to make people pleased. They like to see me smile. So I stretch it to its max, Until the grief cries out loud. They don't know, How much I h@te myself, When there's no longer the usual laughter around me. I hated to cry. To them, I'm like a dove. Fly through the clouds and reach the sky. Do they know that every night, I sobbed in my pillow until I couldn't cry.
