Broken Angel

In the midst
Of my remembrance
I am held dumbfounded
In an empty space
Reminiscent of home
Something about the scent
Of disaster
I am so far from malcontent
That I can’t function
So I just wait
For the next mission
Or at least the next step
In this one
Everything’s my fault
Everything that happens to me
Is automatically my responsibility
And that’s okay
Doesn’t bother me
Cause there’s nothing
I can’t handle
Today's crisis is simple
Compared to the tragedy
That is my life
And what a beautiful life it is
Every moment a piece of the
Melancholy montage
Mosaic of misery
Symphony of the absurd
Blue note in a red song
Oh broken angel
Smiling amidst the rubble
Washing bloody wounds
With fresh tears
Like a scratched record
Always repeating
Tomorrow’s another day
The wise know
That everything happens for a reason
And really
That’s all you can ever know
For sure
Cause even evolution is evolutionary
You must evolve
Learn from each moment
Become anew
Break to grow
Destroy to build
True beauty is held together
By scars
My heart is covered in graffiti
And swollen with pain
Oh broken angel
Smiling
And gazing
At the sky
