Angel


The times of hardship, 

The feeling of unworthiness,

The Angel should take it away, it happened once before,

Angel should take it away.

When you went to practice with your brother, you always loved being with him,

This time was different,

Angel has to take it away 

Mommy was sick, so sickly, why did she look so sick,

you knew that mommy went to dialysis everyday, the nurses took all her blood, cleaned it out, and put it back in.

You had no idea but ... Angel should take it away , when anything goes wrong Angel will fix it...

This elderly, white woman approached, My brother left by this time , she talked about healing and moving forward. It doesn't matter Angel will take it away. 
Im mommy's Angel , I'll take it away 

That's what I'm here for , Angel is here, make mommy better . When I was born I take the pain away, when the white woman stopped talking you looked down ... then you looked up and she was no longer there ... Angel will take it away, she's going to be okay, Mommy would never leave me, HA!! She loves me too much to do that ... I'm mommy's Angel ...

A couple months later,"I'm sorry love mommy passes away. Your funny let's go see mommy in the hospital, I just need to see her I'm her Angel

I could have made it all better, that's why I'm here, I'M ANGEL, "she's not there baby I'm sorry, I'm so sorry Angel".

The tears started to flow down so hard. It wouldn't stop. They are liars... I'm Angel, ANGEL could have made it better... you ran to the bathroom and spewed so much...

You couldn't breathe ...

Remember what the old lady said " heal and be happy child, she wanted you to explore Angel, mommy told me to tell you that she was holding you back. It was time for her to meet her maker so be happy, yeahh"

I walked outside and sunbathed " just like mommy" 

A butterfly flew on my arm and waved at me ...

I'm still here baby 

Now I'm your Angel, I'm looking over you now.
