Lies of an Angel – Sarah Sanfield

I am good at lying 

Little white lies

That go with my disguise

Golden wings  

So pure and kind 

On the outside 

Of which people see

And breathe 

In my presence 

And would consider my 

Personality when I feel

I don’t actually have one

The feelings are there in 

The black ink blots in

the back of my mind 

Except they aren’t true 

They are the little white lies

That go with my disguise 

Golden wings 

So pure and kind 

I don’t actually feel

Those feelings that 

Are cramped in the black ink blots

In the back 

Of my mind because 

They have been there for 

So long that I have lost 

Touch with them that
I cannot feel them 

Truly anymore 

Nor do I know how to 

Touch them once again

Or even only reach 

Or beg to even catch 

A glimpse of their 

Dappled faces 

That have been 

Cramped in the darkness

In the back of my mind 

Held hostage in the darkness

Of the back of my mind

So weak and cold 

And almost like nothing 

Just like how I feel 

True
