Earth Angel

Earth Angel

by Paul Diaz

Heaven sent a being, as a human you were to be

Your true form remains hidden, i pity those who could not see

Overflowing kindness and a heart that is true

Walking among us mortals an angel that is you

Intelligent and well mannered you were raised to be

But a much more fitting adjective would be extraordinary

As you spread your wings to a confined space they let you fly

Hidden within your smile, is the hope to reach the sky

Then one day with courage to the clouds you flew

You obtained true happiness a feeling that you never knew

Even for a short stint you knew this is where you had to be

High above the clouds so happy and free

To the land you return with true happiness in tow

Everything did change and your escapade they did know

They say you did wrong and you defend with your might

They never did listen, since when were you right?

What they want is important and not what you really feel

Both hands in shackle and the loss of free will

They threaten to cut your wings and to take the sky away

What you want will always be wrong, all you can do is obey

Grounded angel save your wings and do surrender

You shall be free one day and the sky is there forever

Earthly angel please do wipe the tears on your face

The pain you feel now will be erased one day by the sky's warmly embrace

I hope you never forget and always keep remembering

That same happy feeling that tomorrow may once again bring

For now you are sad but soon your smile they would see

A smile not of happiness, but a mark of your enslavery

...the sky bleeds...

...and yet it waits...
