Ok this isn't a happy poem but not about suicide. More about deression and lonelyness, or however you may interpret it, Please post falws and comments about it, because it is personally one of my favourite poems I have written.

The angels screaming for salvation
They've not quite made it into heaven
They still pray to the god that keeps them out
Hands closed pointing to the sky
begging to the one who can free their lives
Cloud nine is as far as they travel

The sun sets too early for them
Shrouded in darkness for there eternity
They cant see the light anymore
The feeling breeds behind the eyes
As soon as there gowns turn from
Wonderful clean white to dirty black robes

As they turn from angels to humans
They are reminded of the past they shared
With the one they called god
Worshiping him when he gave us our disease
Yet he was the one who gave life
Although god is but a stranger

So as we all pray in unison to the one
Who gave us all life in his goodwill
Yet when the time comes for us to pass
Will he open up his gates, open up his arms
Because that’s where we long to be
Although our souls are too tainted

Souls tainted with the blood of a thousand sins
All the little things we forgot to say
Every time we didn’t show what we couldn’t do
I am one of these discarded angels
Casted away because we don’t fit in
But we fit in with each other

there = a place, not here
their = plural possessive

Did you ever see the "Porphecy" movies? This poem reminded me of those movies alot. I like those movies so the poem was a nice backdrop for them. If you haven't seen them, I suggest you do, christopher walken is the main guy. Anyway.

You had one "falw" that I saw other than the one already pointed out. It wasn't even in the poem. Yeah, you know what i'm talking about.
