Send me an angel

 

It was a normal day till I stepped into my room

Walked into a veil of haze

Draped over the light that transported me

Into another world

Filled with the dim of night alone in the

Silence of the room

Sitting dismayed staring in a daze gazing at the walls as

I hear them weep, with a blank look in my eyes …..

My brain is in a freeze, someone please set my mind at ease

Free me from this blank thought cluttering my brain,

I can’t see through this hazy rain but I can

Feel the pain

Striking my heart like a nail in a coffin…..

I feel myself coughing vile spirits that live within my soul

Life is too hard to keep walking through storms

 But we do

Because we surrender into the mystery of the modern day blues

Thy snaked upon, therefore drifting into the

Unknown mysteries of pain

A world existing only within your mind a veil of darkness

That terrifies you

You cried out for help but no one hears you, then you realized 

You’re trapped within your mind

Tonight there’s only one thought in my mind to make it through

The obscure sumps of the night…..

The sun will soon raise opening new struggles and strife of

Everyday wonders

You escaped from the sun and into the shade, played too much

With your life

You can’t sleep a voice whispers this is not living

You’re better off Dead

Then another voice utters your first breath of life, was from

 The fruit of true love 

Your life is not your own, your soul belongs to God

But I hear myself screaming Father:

I can’t make it through today…..

Suddenly an angel heard the cries within my soul

Felt the moisture of my tears within her bosom 

Felt my pain and desperation, prayers echo through the walls as

A loud piercing cry booms from the root of my soul

Sent me an angel to free my soul, from these

Obscured swamps…..

 The dimness of night turn into light, today is the day

I’m taking a huge step; I’m going to make it:

It’s hard living in this cruel world, trying hard to come out of

The gloom, and walk into the light

Dear God!!

Send me an angel to free my soul

He sent me, a loving angel who pleaded for me

Called all the angels from heaven, within my thoughts i heard the voice

 Calling all angels to free my soul…

Sad and beautiful.

I have suffered with depression and was brought to tears by this.. You have truly captured the emptiness and loss of self so powerfully.. It's only when I surrender that the light is allowed to shine back in.. I seem to be my own block to self at times.. Your an amazing poetess Morning Star.. thank you for posting this.. xo
