Broken Angel

Broken Angel

Locked away in her own tiny world,
she had many dreams that would never unfold.
Always too busy with everyone else,
she put all her dreams way up high on the shelf.

Her wings were all tattered, battered and torn,
from the years of neglect since the day she was born.
Her wings she kept hidden and well out of sight,
as her mum always told her, they would give humans a fright.

Feeling ugly and rejected from a very young age,
she put up her defences and entered the stage.
Laughing and joking along with the crowd,
her mum always said she was making her proud.

In everyday life she pretended to be,
the woman that people expected to see.
A joker, a daughter, a sister and wife,
What about Broken Angel; doesn’t she deserve her own life?

Whilst away from her home, she made a new friend,
who said follow your dreams, and your wings will soon mend.
She took his advice, and learned to live life,
in a way that only she could suffice.

Her wings are now working she can now be herself,
and her dreams no more longer sit on that shelf.
Her friend she still sees, and loves and adores,
as she is Broken Angel no more.
