For once, I feel free 

Fear escapes me 

Everything just disappears 

and for this moment, 

it is me and death. 

Peace envelops me 

and worries about  

what I should or shouldn’t do 

evaporate into the air. 

Just silence 

Oh, how I’ve craved for it! 

I’m sorry but I need 

to be selfish for one more night. 

Maybe angels do break. 

Now I stand 

crying in a room,  

wishing I could take your pain away, 

wishing you could see how beautiful  

and how worthy you are  

because an angel shouldn’t see themselves  

as hideous, unworthy or unlovable. 
“You took my peace of mind,  

but I will let you do it a million times again, 

 if it meant you rest at ease.” 
For I rather feel the anguish 

 than to see a broken you. 

You are no poor soul.  

You are a warrior in a world full of cowards. 

This world will tell you that you can’t,  

because they never could.  

They don’t share the same mind  

you carry within you.  

People will create villains, 

and then blame them for not being a hero.
