Fall From Grace

I once lived in a land of welcomes, greetings, hellos, and sweet goodbyes I now reside forevermore in a forever place of hellos and never goodbyes Here I stand in darkness, nowhere near anything that looks like home Fear came with my fall from grace, but I am also dejected and alone My abode was a most beautiful mansion overlooking a scenic hillside I am now condemned to this awful dwelling place, wishing only to hide Everything I behold is fraudulent, including the flowers in my hand I was condemned to this place of the doomed and never never land I have no one to blame, because it was I who caused this awful pain I have been a receiver and not a giver, because I sought only to gain A fake, a flake, a heart breaker, and an unmerciful taker A sin seeker; now, I'm being punished with the evil maker I am one of many fallen angels who flirted with danger And to confusion and rebellion, I was not a stranger I knew better, but willfully chose not to listen or heed the Divine I chose to be selfish and proud, always reaching for what was mine The light that I see here is only streaks of fear pretending to be light There's only darkness here, designed to torment and forever strike fright 08062017PSContest, Fallen Angels, Laura Loo, 3P
