Light and Dark

I have fallen from the sky
My delicate wings are clipped
You soar above me, looking down
Red venom on your lips.
Perhaps you saw my weakness
And longed to play a game
Pick apart my broken heart
Then fill my gut with shame.
Did you think I'd lay there
Like a victim, small and meek
When greater beasts than you
Have failed to make me weak.
I have learnt my lesson
I'll stand proudly while in pain
Angels cannot help demons
Kindness only fuels their flame.

Well said and a good metaphor for life.
