Halo for Sale

By Halocination

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Halo for sale, Slightly used, Crooked on one side Somewhat abused, Needs some polish to regain that shine, Needs some straightening, Because it's been dropped a few times. Halo for sale, Yeah, it's this one above my head, It doesn't go with my baggy pants, So I'm trading it in for something else instead It doesn't match my long dark hair Thick eye-brows, or my tanned skin, It doesn't represent what I do, Or what I say, just the things I hold within. Halo for sale, And I might throw in these wings too I fought and clawed for these, But if you wanted to fly as bad as I did Believe me so would have you. You know what? Now that I think of it. Forget about the sale. Halo not for sale, I refuse to lose these wings No matter how I got them I refuse to give up on these things I'll stay responsible for them I can't live if I can't fly, And I will never give up my crooked Halo, Even if it leans to one side.
