Me Poem by Nicole Henson

I came to this world an angel

with golden hair and crystal eyes

smiles and joy springing from me

and swirling around my being



years flew by and I began to grow

to fill with feelings and emotions

different are they from my beginning

my heart beats a pattern not to be remembered



now my soul is corrupted

my hair no longer glows

my eyes have turned icy and dull

my wings have dissipated and now I’m fallen



colors fall from me

drowned with the neutral grays of my heart

standing in the rain with a smirk on my face

I no longer whisper my feelings to other humans



I am alone

I am filled with hatred and sorrow

I have fallen from my heavenly status

but I am proud to be me
