An Angel's Suffering

Malevolent words piercing
the very air you breathe,
as people around you
shout out and seethe.

Such violent attacks
on an innocent face,
torment your compassion
and disrupt your grace.

Judgemental surroundings
cage your potential,
forcing you out
into the unconfidential.

Manipulating authorities
convince to you conform,
little are they aware
you will never transform.

Unappreciated deeds
even for the undeserving,
they abuse your kindness
while you aren't observing.

The painful labor
they put you through,
injures your body
with rewards long overdue.

Not a soul listens
to the words you express,
it all builds up inside
causing more and more stress.

They don't seem to care
when you're not the faulted,
its easier to blame you
as the guilty are exalted.

Your wings have been clipped
and your soul has been caged,
because of your perfection
those around you are enraged.

But your angelic smile
still shines in the night,
though only in your dreams
will you take flight.

One day will come
and you will be free,
instead of being trapped
here next to me.

Thanks for the help on this one, Adam, couldn't have done it without You.
