Found it!

A Poem that I wrote about 6yrs ago. I'm not sure about you, but in the computer age, sometimes I lose things in my computer. The old computer that I'd written this on, has long gone and I have a new one. So I just assumed that my poem had gone to the same place my old hard drive had...the dump.

I guess a good thing about being a self confessed hoarder is, I keep things from forever. Sifting through papers the other day, looking for folders for my kids for school. I came across an email that I'd printed. As I realised what the email had on it, I am sure I heard the hallelujah music playing in the background. My Poem. I remember writing this poem. It came so easy. It just flew out of my mind into my fingers and boom there it was. I freaked myself out. lol So here it is. At least if I lose the old email, I'll have another hard copy here.

I wish I had a photo that I could post with this..but I don't have anything that I feel is suitable. I miss my camera, so maybe tomorrow I may go on a journey and take a photo to illustrate this poem.

A caged Angel

with broken wings

wonders when her life began

and when it will end. 

She prays for forgiveness

for the emotions, inside

how could such a pure heart 

have such hatred that she can't hide. 

She will live like this forever

inside the cage she built herself

to protect the others from the evil

from the hate that lives within oneself. 

The emotions boil, like a pot of water

waiting to spill over and 

scold whoever stands closest.

She sits and stares 

at the key to unlock the gate

the key to freedom, forgiveness, love

to unlock her hate.

She will never give herself

permission to be enslaved

from her own demons that dance the night away

Denying the only hope that lives inside her 

the hope that keeps her alive

she prays for freedom

she prays to fade into the night.
