a cross

Rage by AnnaMariaDeMari at deviantART
don't look into my insomniac eyes-
seemingly so, 
(I sleep like a log)
that cross on my forehead-
a mark I acquired 
when I fell down from the stars
but what of it?
I look like a fallen angel
with my gelled hair,
and unblinking stare
that air of haughtiness
you could never fathom my indomitable spirit
(just a fact I state)

"when I walk on the earth again, 
I find bliss in my obscure state"

  10. Falling down the stars - that's some fall, a cross on her forehead. She is indomitable. Watch out! Interesting write.
