this is something I came up with while sitting here in the apartment

My wings are no longer wings

They're broken and bruised

I can't feel anything anymore

Who is this girl I see in the mirror everyday?

Why is she so cold?

People pass her by

They don't know

She's insane

her mind wanders like the squirrels

on the rich green grass'

They don't know about

her overpriced medication

The looks she gets when

she walks alone in the dark

Her arms and knees are sore

she's done trying to please him

Why can't she feel loved?

Daddy says he loves her

Mommy still bakes her cookies when she's

got that gloomy face

Why can't she shake off this one?

Take an advil and it will all be okay

She swallows the pills one by one

Then all at once

her insides begin to shutdown

one by one

each organ is rejecting the medicine

too much

soon, she is reunited with other angels in

heaven

searching for home

too soon.

A very sad and tragic tale, beautifully told. battered and bruised by life's harshness, feeling alone, even when her parents are there, she sees hollowness look back from the mirror, because that is how the world treated her. Too soon she flies again. Thank you for sharing this with us.
