Angel

Clip off your wings

Retire the crown

Show the scars

Hide the pain

Swallow the swarming dread

Fall to the ground

Fall under the ground

A bird with no wings

A singer with no voice

An angel with no heart

An oxymoron

A hypocrisy

A paradox

A failure



Keep the balance

Check the posture

Put on that broken mask

Now smile for the camera

Good job, keep that smile

You look great in it

Everyone loves your mask, don't they?

But would they still love me if they knew my thoughts?

Shh...

Quiet the thoughts.

Smile for the camera

Check your posture

Stop crying

Your make-up's running

I said

STOP.

There

That's better

Just touch up the broken mask

Hold on to the pieces until the end

Because at the end

You can rest

So for now

Just work hard
