Runaway Angel by ~artiskewl:iconartiskewl:

Categories Literature > Poetry > General Poetry > Open


Do you see her? The Runaway Angel?
She's fleeing her life, her hair fanning
out behind her.
Glancing over her shoulder in fear,
Green backpack bumping against her,
Red Converse high tops flying,
Thudding
Over dirty city streets,
Her angel wings fluttering.
Tears come silently like rain
Falling from the Heavens above.
Cold, filthy, starving, terrified, and bruised,
Lonley, broken, exhausted, hurt, and confused.
Beautiful.

Author's Comments

Reminds me of "Runaway Love" by Mary J. Blidge and Ludacris. Not as good, of course because that song was pure honesty and genius.
Another inspiration I have to give credit to is Avril Lavigne's "Nobody's Home". Watch the music video and you'll see what I mean.
Well, both of them made me cry because of the subject matter.

I never heard either of those songs or seen the video but I think, after reading this, I'm going to go listen to/watch both. Good job. =)

Aw, poor angel! *hugs the Runaway Angel* But I have to agree with :iconsockpanda:, as soon as I read this, I saw a picture of this in my head. It looks really cool and all, and if I was a good artist, I would so ask to attempt to draw it... though can I ask anyway and try to draw it? 'Cause now I really want to. :nod: And I have plenty of time this week, well, hopefully. Seeing as how I only work three days... but then I'm gonna be cleaning tons on my off days.... *is rambling again* >< But good piece by the way! Really good scenery! Oh, and I think that it is awesome that the angel is wearing converse shoes. *grins widely* Muha! ^^

"That person's either a hard-core artist, or a total tourist!" - So that must mean that I'm a hard-core tourist! :D

Thank you! I tried to make it very vivid. It's sad, though. You have my absolute full permission to do whatever you want with it. Well, besides the obvious of stealing. But please give me credit if you post it!

Letting a reader have scenery to go along with something is always a good thing at times. And good for you, I think you did a fantastic job. <3 I was well pleased. ^^ And yay! And of course I shall give you credit, it would be just silly if I didn't. *nods*
