ode to an angel

you shared your pain with the world, it tore me up to see your suffer so

you shine like a thousand stars

but it is hard to see through tear filled eyes

sometimes the harshest critic stares back from reflective surfaces

highlights the things we don’t want to see

ignore that view

we are our own biggest enemies

too attached to the hurt inside, we let it color the world around us

but you are an angel with broken wings

and you will fly again

stretch those wings my love, let them feel the wind again

sometimes it takes falling to remember how to rise back up

occasionally it takes a crash to recall how to soar

and you will soar

streaking across the night sky like the celestial form you are

let the tears fall as they may

but don’t let them weight you down

as we shed the chains of doubt we elevate ourselves beyond this ball of dirt and hurt

maybe one day i will see you there
