#NaPoWriMo-Day-21-Merely Human

Posted on April 21, 2021 by Penny Wilson Writes

She stepped down 
from her pedestal  

Until that moment 
he saw her only as 
one would envision 
a supreme being  

It was shocking to see 
her shed her wings
 
to cast aside the virtuous 
halo he had enslaved her with  

He was dismayed 
at how imprisoned 
she had become

She was merely 
human

after all
