In the middle of the night,
She lays unsettled.
Restless...
A thousand things running through her mind.
Sleep wont come,
It seems to be a lifetime away.
Because her problems feel so close.
So close she feels claustrophobic,
Deeply emotional...
And utterly lost.
Her angels watch her misery,
Feeling the futility of it all.
No resolution can they provide,
No peace to entice sleep.
She seems to be falling into an abyss,
That grows deeper...
And wider everyday.
She needs the help of reality,
Although it wont find her locked inside her room.
Here come the tears, showers of pain.
Her angels ache to take it away.
Praying for resolution...
They keep her in constant supervision.
Knowing only time can heal all wounds.
In the meantime they can do little,
But listen to her pain.
Overcome with frustration,
The Angels cried.
Author notes
Everyone has had moments like these. And if we do have angels I'm sure they have felt like this too!

Minds me of when I was in grade school and the sisters would talk about my gaurdian angel. Funny thing is I could always feel her there(I always thought of her as she, but that's just me. You should know, I wasn't a very normal kid, being kinda flighty and all.

wow
such emotion is evoked from this piece. I felt as though you were describing my life...I never imagined that my angels would find the same frusterations I felt, not being able to help me....an interesting thought, certainly something to think about.
The frusterations of life are a common theme among poetry (i myself have written about it a lot) and I love that you found a way to express this theme in a way I havent seen yet. nice job!
