A Dead Wretched Angel

Look to the darkness, you'll find me there
Ripped to shreds from every care
Burried in ashes, pulling my hair
A dead wretched angel left in despair

Broken from my path and love I once held
Blistering thoughts with a sharp feeling felt
A feeling of lose constantly haunts my hopes
A dead wretched angel with nothing to show

Can't describe this world, when left in the rain
How can light shine on me, I feel so insane
How can my innocence cause me to feel so much pain
A dead wretched angel with nothing to gain

No matter what, my demons wont go away
Wake in the flames, I can't call for a name
A cold dark world where joy is forbidden
A dead wretched angel with secrets kept hidden

A dead wretched angel with broken wings
A heart that is frightened, can no longer sing
A heart that broke free to soar in the sky
A dead wretched angel left living a lie...

    Aside from the typos in stanzas 1 and 3 ['burried' should be 'buried', and 'lose' should be 'loss'], I found this a wonderful read. There was a calm, haunting sort of darkness in it that I found beautiful. Well done!

    I absolutely loved this write!! Dark, lonely, sad, and angry. These are the emotions I felt as I read this. I did find that the rhyme scheme was rather broken and unstable, but all in all, I loved it, especially the lines "How can light shine on me, I feel so insane, How can my innocence cause me to feel so much pain" I feel this way all too much, and you brought it to my mind to ponder on once again.

    Great write and good luck in the contest!!

    Good job! Love it. Only this one thing. You said in your poem that:

    "Burried in ashes, pulling my hair"

    That should be:

    "Buried in ashes, pulling my hair"

    It had that flaw so you don't get clappies, otherwise you had 'em. Call me strict. Keep it up!!!

    My gosh bro!!!
    This is one of the best poems I've read in a while.
    Your endings ... as I've been mentioning for about forever .. are superb. This one especially gives you a punch in the face after the line before the last.

    I'm so glad you found it and I hope that you find back all of your amazing poems! I don't know what to say except that - I know who you are, lol, so much for the anonymous contest part. But it's great.

    Love ya ♥
