Dark Wings
An angel to be,
A dream everyone aspires.
She will be goddess,
My grandmother used to say.
Enormous white wings on me,
A white dress,
Peace and innocence in both my hands,
And patience in my mind.
I was born with all of that indeed.
Rare is diamond
And so are the wings
The reason they chased the part of me,
To snatch it and make it theirs.
I let them tear apart,
As I thought I'd save myself from it
Why not? I'm an angel indeed.
Time passed,
I saw my feathers on the ground
And nothing on my back.
My dress was torn apart daily.
I lost my patience,
I released the peace in one hand,
Threw the innocence from the other.
Knit my dress.
I wake up with wearing the same white dress now,
With a ring of black opal in one
And wisdom in the other hand
With beautiful dark wings
My scars give me power
And reminder to not go back
To who I was born with.
