She flew high
She was strong
Nothing could hold her down
Nothing could hurt her

Her wings stayed white and clean
As did her heart
Even with the evil around her
She remained untarnished

But now they have found her weakness
They have broken her wings
The very strength of them
Is now beginning to fade

The whiteness of them have become tarnished
Her heart has become clouded
The evil is beginning to seep into her skin
And course thru her veins

Who can save her?
Who can mend her wings?
Who can cleanse her heart?
Who can flush her veins?

What can be done
With this crippled angel

Wow...i really loved this one. I think it is so true for a lot of people. We all like to think we're invincible and that nothing can hurt us, and then someone finds a way to knock us down, "break our wings" so to speak. Just remember that the people who do this aren't worth being permanently scarred by. Surround yourself with people who will mend your wings and help you fly again...
I think I used one too many metaphors here
Keep writing!
