Handicapped Angel [Song]

by Kayla   May 31, 2008


Everyday you look at her,
You think to yourself,"Poor thing."
As she strolls by you in her wheelchair,
She never once shows a drop of pain.

You know she doesn't live a beautiful life,
Yet you harass her when she tries to commit suicide.
Not listening when she tells you that every time she looks in the mirror,
She only sees a cloud of misery.

Oh, sweet little angel,
Trying to fly on broken wings.
Remember you're beautiful in your own way,
Just because the world doesn't see,
Doesn't mean you won't fly someday.

Everyday you make fun of her,
Just because you know she can't walk away.
Oh, she's holding back so many tears,
Why can't you get that through your brain?

Oh, sweet little angel,
Trying to fly on broken wings.
Remember you're beautiful in your own way,
Just because the world doesn't see,
Doesn't mean you won't fly someday.

You have nothing to fear....
Someday you'll dry all of these tears....

Oh, sweet little angel,
Still trying to fly on broken wings.
Remember you're beautiful no matter what.
Though the rest of the world doesn't see,
I know that you'll fly someday.

This is actually something I was inspired to write about from a girl that goes to my school. She was born handicapped and has to be in a wheelchair. Many people make fun of her because she's different, and she's severally depressed. She has tried to kill herself many times but is still with us. The whole cloud of misery thing was actually her own words. When kids were asking her why she tried committing suicide. So I think I should write this to let her know that there are some good people out there that care for her... I hope I'm able to show her this someday.

    Kayla,
    this was penned very deeply, with sincerity to melt the heart.
    I really think you did an excellent job on this, and you should show the girl it... Maybe you can make friends and brighten her day just that much more..
    I think she'd appreaciate it; knowing someone cares...

    Very Well Done.

    Kayla!!!! this is absolutely beautiful, babe. Honest to goodness. It's so realistic in the beginning, not only to this specific person...but to anybody who has ever felt broken. and so it's applicable to everyone's life, which is the reason many people read poems. looking for their own meaning.

    Oh, sweet little angel,
    Still trying to fly on broken wings.
    Remember you're beautiful no matter what.
    Though the rest of the world doesn't see,
    I know that you'll fly someday.
