Am I…

Am I a fallen angel

crashing through the heavens

landing broken and bleeding

wings torn from my back

ravaged and destroyed

thrown from my safety and protection

barely able to breathe

the air is poison to my lungs

searing them with toxic vapors

as I strain to stand

conscious of the heinous act that ended me here

desperately hoping for a second chance

or…

Am I an angel destined to fall

destined to destroy my own happiness

fated to sabotage my heart

sacrificing everything I hold close

for the fear of happiness reigns over me

entrapping me, seizing all ability to accept

true happiness could actually be mine

but doubts clouded my judgment

condemning me to a fate worse then falling

chasing away my only savior

the only one who holds the key to unlocking me

hiding myself away even though all I want is to be free

maybe I was born to fall

Well written! Though if destined to destroy happiness, the inverse would also be true – you have the potential to create it within you. And I know you can do. 🙂
