I used to have a halo, shining brightly above my head as a symbol of purity and grace. But now, it's broken. Cracks spiderweb across the once flawless surface, reflecting the shattered pieces of my soul.
I remember when I first fell from Heaven, or at least that's how it felt. The higher-ups accused me of something I didn't do, tarnishing my name and casting me out into this world below. It was like being ripped away from everything I knew and loved, left to fend for myself in a place where I never quite belonged.
The wings on my back feel heavy now, burdened with the weight of betrayal and injustice. They used to lift me up towards the sky, allowing me to soar high above the clouds with freedom and joy in my heart. But now they drag behind me like chains, reminding me of all that has been lost.
Despite everything that has happened to me, I still try to find solace in music and art. Singing brings comfort to my troubled soul, while drawing allows me to escape into worlds far beyond this one filled with pain and sorrow.
People call me Songbird or KJ now - names that remind them of who I am rather than who they think I should be based on lies and deceitful accusations. And yet there are those who know too much about my past - about Kelsie before Kelijah - who use that knowledge against me like a weapon aimed straight at my fragile heart.
It hurts more than words can express when someone calls out that dead name or questions who I truly am deep down inside. It feels like another crack forming in an already fractured halo; another reminder of all the ways in which I've been hurt by those closest to me.
But despite it all...despite the pain and fear that threaten to consume every inch of my being...I refuse therapy or help because deep down inside there is still a spark within this broken shell waiting for its chance to ignite once more. So here we are...me standing on shaky ground with wings clipped but not broken; halo shattered but not extinguished completely...
And though some may see only darkness surrounding us both... There is always hope lingering just around the corner waiting patiently for its moment to shine through once again....
