Why did Lucifer choose to lose his wings when he could’ve instead lived a life with god’s love?

I lost a feather

when I first swore in your name

the day my best friend died

but because it wasn’t by your hand

she could never fly again

I plucked a feather

the night I

forgot to fall on pious knees

and talk to someone who never responded

I struck a feather

on the ground the day I thought

maybe was a synonym to faith

and for once I wasn’t the thing that wasn’t good enough

I broke off a feather

each day I lied

to the angels about my wings

because in the brightest shadows they still looked alright

I tore off two feathers

that weekend we talked

about why some people don’t get to fly

and its never your fault

even when you know its going to happen

I crushed some more feathers

that morning because if I could feel

the sting on my skin

maybe that could prove I didn’t hurt within

I cut and cut and cut

my wings

o f f

and I realized that I was never going to fly

because the good that I had learned to become

the love I’d learned to believe in

had never,

never once, followed

You

  6. Dude this was perfect and insanely well done. I would own this in a book and tab it twenty times. I love the feather comparison and the memory snippets and just the entire thing. Thank you for letting me read art. ✨🤌
