The Angel

Time turns into dust
     As I sit here, my hands in cuffs
        Days turn into chains
               As I lay hidden, full of pain
                     Months come and go
                          As I’m forced to lay low


 My body feels dead
     As I desperately search for a bed
        Endless threats silence my ears
             As I struggle to cast out all my fears
                 My mind has crossed to the Darkness inside
                      Knowing that my survival has been denied



I can not escape my wall of loneliness
      For part of me has left God and His Holiness
         My body is weak, my throat dry
             If I had tears, I would’ve cried



I’m giving up, I can not go on
      But then something new occurs at Dawn
           An Angel appears at my side
              With a happy ending to help build my Pride
