When You Felt Alive Poem by Silence Dogood

Darling how can you walk
With those chains
around your feet?
How can you swim
in an ocean of deciet
Do you think you won't drown
with those hands
holding you down
How can you kiss
with those lies
on your lips
Do you think your perfection
a ghost of the past
Do you think this beauty of yours
will always last
Darling how you can be so stupid
To even dare believe
That just because your an actress
You can swim and not sink?
With those chains
on your wrists
the lies
on your lips
the guilt
in your eyes
how can you not realize
That your wings have fallen
and your stuck on the ground
An angel with no halo
who makes not a sound
Darling dear
Don't pretend
that this is not
what you intend
When you left your life
and swallowed
the knife
Did you think
That heaven was
a place to go when you die
or was it that moment
when you felt alive?
