Every time
I try to fly
I can't leave the ground.
Once there were
more happy days
and joy was all around.
I once soared
as angels do,
far above the ground.
Every time I
try to rise
I keep falling down!
I lived a life
of happiness,
my life was full of love.
Then as if
thru punishment,
I fell from up above!
Back to earth
I tumbled down,
to a such an darkened place
It was such
a terrible fall,
I knew I'd fell from grace.
Thou tears did fall
and prays were sent,
It seems I'll have to stay.
For all the wrong
that I had done,
It's now that
I MUST PAY!

This is great. It is so full of sorrow and repentence. You have done well here to express this. And the ending is really powerful. Well done.

You know; you caught the life of satan so well for this is what happen to him. He was an angel till he wanted to shine above God. How Sad was this statement:It seems I'll have to stay.
