Poetry
A Fallen Angel’s Prayer
I’m tired of facing the same sad reality,
Never to be loved
Never being good enough
I’ve always tried to please you,
I’ve tried to be perfect
I still try in vain
Perfect is what you want
But I’m a failure
It kills me that I cannot reach
You wont let me in
Just because I’m me
I don’t know what to do
I cannot lie to myself
I cannot mask my face
So what can I do?
The love I feel for you is relentless
But I cannot say this
I cannot admit to myself
And others make me feel small
How do I earn love?
Is it earned?
Is it promised to others and denied to some?
At least when I was sad he was happy
I was happy,
But now to see him sad cuts me deep
It doesn’t matter about me
Lord, please help him.
I want to be deserving
And honest and true
But yet no matter who I am
How I act
I can never be good enough for him
Or you
