In our own minds, we believe that we are perfect. The reality is: we are. Until we make that one tainted decision against wisdom that moves us from perfection to imperfection. This applies to all of us. Most of us are familiar with the story of that one angel who got in trouble for doing something bad, right? But what about the angel that gets in trouble for doing something good? Youve been there; your good intentions were mistaken for something totally contrary to what you set out to do? Well, you are not alone. Angels make mistakes too.

Descent into Madness And look into the madness, As it burns its tempered black. Could I remember purity And dream I had it back. But when I write of it, The ink burns to the page, Blots out the virgin white, disguises disgust and rage, Tempers all this living, the art that keeps me sane. We burned in hell to turn this black, To sing this verse and want it back To wonder at the piper’s song That called to us from night’s fall. The innocence has gone to be, To sleep the page and not with me; But with the page the purest white, Until with ink, contempt I write; And cover in the darkest black, All that’s been to Hell and back.
