Tears Stained Cheeks And Bloodshot Eyes....

This poem is actually about losing strength....

The angel lost her grace,
As mascara ran down her face.
She forgot love, remembered hate.
She no longer had her faith.

With tear stained cheeks,
Through bloodshot eyes,
She saw only pain and suffering.
Love, she couldn't conquer.

As the blue sky faded to black,
Darkness filled her heart.
Her wings vanished from her back,
And her kindness fell apart.

Even with all her might,
Her dress still went black from white.
She was sent to save,
To help those who weren't brave.

But as she looked around,
At the marks she left...
Tear stained cheeks,
And bloodshot eyes.

Author's Note

My family and friends used to call me an angel. Not for looks, but for the way I could always help someone out of their troubles, and the way that I could always keep a smile on my face. But the other night I couldn't. I realized that I tried my best to help other people with their problems just because I didn't want to deal with my own. I thought the only way I could tell people that was to write a poem. And this is what I came up with.

This is amazing... Such beautiful writing that I've seen recently on these topics. This was very intriguing and relatable. I care for myself more than others, so helping my own problems comes last. But, you realize that you can't help others the way you used to when you're dying in the inside... A corpse cannot appease the living... Very well done!

By the way, I love your profile pic! ^ ^
