Do you see her? The Runaway Angel?
She's fleeing her life, her hair fanning
out behind her
like brown feathered wings.
Glancing over her shoulder in fear,
Green backpack bumping against her,
Red Converse high tops flying,
Thudding
Over dirty city streets,
Her angel wings fluttering.
Tears come silently like rain
Falling from the heavens above.
Cold, filthy, starving, terrified, and bruised,
Lonley, broken, exhausted, hurt, and confused.
Beautiful.
Okay, for the last line: I'm not saying her situation is beautiful. Far from it. I'm saying that she is beautiful for being strong, etc.

Reminds me of "Runaway Love" by Mary J. Blidge and Ludacris. Not as good, of course because that song was pure honesty and genius.
Another inspiration I have to give credit to is Avril Lavigne's "Nobody's Home". Watch the music video and you'll see what I mean.
Well, both of them made me cry because of the subject matter.
