Fallen Angel

Feeling lost, one can feel powerless, alone, and afraid. Sometimes, someone may call out for help. Help them the best you can, instead of letting them drown in a world that nothing less than cruel.

                                                                                An angel,

Her wings clipped

 So she cannot fly.

      Roaming the streets,

           She wished she would die.

    Surrounded by humans,

     They were all she could see,

                         Floating around, she was scarred emotionally.

                             Every three streets, she saw a crime then another.

                               Powerless, all she could do was move on and shudder.

                                 In pain and turmoil was she, lost in the crowd of the big city

          Crying out to anyone, to hear her plead,

            Not a single soul turned or gave her heed.

          Pushed by the current and lost at sea,

      All she could do was wait and see,

      Where the waves would take her. 

She allowed it to flow,

                                                                          Giving up on life,

         There was nothing to hold.

         Crying out one last time,

                                                                        The waves engulf her leaving no sign.

Oh so very moving...loved the idea of an angel feeling hopeless to help a world full of crime, to have had so much power then not to have any to help..would make one want to give up...excellent read :)

Interesting poem. The emotions of loss and hopelessness are very clearly placed in this piece. I like it.

That's good to know, I was aiming to display the feeling of helplessness, and lost of self. Glad you liked it.
