The Angel & Demon

I am nothing
I can’t succeed Everything I do
Ends up in catastrophe I fail them
Again and Again
They might be happier Without me
As I enter the building
I see nothing
I am lonely in an empty hallway Colorless
My locker creaks open
It is as empty has my life
No happiness within
And there she comes
Bringing the sun with her
Behind her the school starts to gain color Suddenly I’m in a hallway with people Laughing,Talking and Joking
They all stare at her wondering
How can someone be this happy?
She is the Angel
Dressed in all colors except black
Walking towards me she makes my day
Her smile is a disease that you pray you won’t catch It is impossible to get mad at her
And then she goes away

After she leaves for class
I see guns coming over
They all take aim and start firing Nerd,Jerk,Roasts and Jokes all about me I try to shield myself but it’s no use They win again
And that’s when she enters
Dressed in all black she walks slowly Her black eyes set on one target
Me and the bullies
The Red sea splits in front of her She carries her own sword and shield She is the Demon
She fight the guns
One by One
After she destroys them all She helps me up
Her eyes are calm
But her aura is dangerous She brushes the dust of me And leaves
The day goes on
And I wonder
Why?
Why do they help me
That Angel and Demon
I finally work up the courage To ask them Why?
And they say
That’s what friends are for
You are not who you think you are
And they are right
I’m not just a flimsy girl used as a distraction

I’m not just a target for guns I’m a queen
A queen who’s ruling a country They are both my friends
My sister in arms
They are the two sides of me
And I’m the balance between those two sides
I’m happy and kind
And I’m dangerous and merciless I’m good and evil
I’m cruel and nice
I’m the Angel
I’m the Demon
I’m both
I’m everything
