broken angel

they all mock me
their white wings are perfect
and shimmer with sunlight
they can fly... high above the clouds
but i just sit, alone on the ground
my white wings look perfect too...
but everyone knows it's just an illusion
my wings are broken...
i can't fly at all
the blood that stains them, is washed away
i know myself to still be tainted
i watch as all the angels fly away
and i know that i will remain alone
nothing would care about a fallen angel
who's wings are broken and bloodied.

unknown.
