Tainted Angel

People call me happy

They say I’m filled with pure happiness and cheer

They say I’m caring and don’t have a fear

But what they don’t know is I don’t care

I am not happy nor am I cheerful and I do have fears

They just don’t see the tears

These tears I cry

The tears I hide

The pure rage and hatred in my eyes

The pain and sorrow running through my veins

The scars and wounds I hide

Behind my so-called untainted smile

And all my cheerful acts

What they don’t see is my tainted wings

Died black with crimson streaks

They don’t see the evil look in my eyes

They don’t know I’m the fallen angel

The one angel that took the wrong path

The others went right and I went left

Falling from the sky

Down to the earth

Never to return again

Tainted with depression, sorrow, pain, and despair

Never to be happy year after year

I am the tainted angel

With wings as dark as the depression inside of me

And streaks of crimson

As red as blood that stands for the pain running through my veins

I am the tainted angel

Fallen from heavens gates

Bringing depression, pain, and despair to those who come near

I am the tainted angel
