Forgive Them All
She stood
Like a waterfall
That had been slapped by the ice age
Cold, Crystal, Beautiful
Dripping slowly
Tears, like drops of acid eroding away these golden moments
Where the sunshine’s through the black ice
An angel
With fate plucking out her feathers
1 by 2
By naked at school
Their eyes screaming distaste
They are blind to the grace of her struggles,
Blind by the gleam of her hairless head
She cradles her angel
Counting the days to “no more choices”
Counting the ways to silence the cruel voices
Including her own
Doesn’t the angel deserve to rest in peace?
Her halo dims and crumbles to the floor
Betrayed by her whole worlds
Because illness really isn’t “Sick”
Fate was only laughing at his own trick
She
Stared down the throat of god as he yawned
At her proposal to keep the innocent alive
It takes more then a desperate cry to survive this harsh
Maze of life
Angelic eyes bruised blooming a new rainbow of colour
Proof of epic battles with endless needles
Once more her gloves hit the ground in a cloud of dust.
The man in white had one again
She bared her teeth in Raging grief at everyone who laughed
Or
Just passed as if IT were okay/ They didn’t understand
they didn’t understand that
her angel was crashing with no where to land.
The angel just kept marching
Head up
Eyes brave
Marching 10 feet tall
Towards her tragic death
With her final breath the angel whispered
“Forgive them all”
