Hi all! Demonlrd here with yet another depressing X-men songfic. Hot damn... This one isn't written all that well, but I like the story.
I own nothing that isn't mine!!
ENJOY!!
Concrete Angel
She walks to school with the lunch she packed
"She's your daughter too Karen! You can't put all this on me!"
Nobody knows what she's holdin' back
"Goddamnit, Harold! If you hadn't been sleeping around…"
Wearin' the same dress she wore yesterday
"Of course that's what it is! How do I know you weren't sleeping around? Maybe the little creature isn't even mine!"
She hides the bruises with linen and lace
"Enough! This is God punishing us I just know it…"

The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask
The young girl laid her head on the desk, covering her ears. Even from school she could hear them arguing.
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask
Claiming to have a headache, she pulled her hair more securely around her sensitive ears.
Bearing the burden of a secret storm
A friend passed by and patted her shoulder. She smiled and tried not to wince at the throbbing pain.
Sometimes she wishes she was never born
Her heart fell at the sound of the bell. As the others ran happily to the cars of their waiting parents, she began the slow walk home.
Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
She laid her hand on the doorknob. Taking a deep breath, she let her mind slip away to a magic place. A place she'd only heard of through whispers and rumors.
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where she's loved
The Xavier Institute.

"What a disgusting little creature…" he said, looking down at the pale, naked girl and her chalk-white wings. "Get back to you room!" he yelled, kicking her for emphasis.
Somebody cries in the middle of the night
In the relative safety of her room, the young girl sobbed. Slowly laying on her pallet, she laid her bloody, broken wings behind her, crying out at the pain of moving.
The neighbors hear, but they turn out the lights
"Did you hear that, Michael?"
"Probably just a cat…"
"Poor thing sounds like it's in pain…"
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate
"Why can't we get rid of her, Karen? She's a curse on us all!"
"We can't let the neighbors find out! What would they say?"
"We have a monster in our house. They'd say we did what's right."
When morning comes it'll be too late
Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
Pulling herself to her feet, she grabbed the only dress she had, wincing as it slipped over her bruised and broken body.
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where she's loved
Like every other day, she looked up to the sky, listening for the sound of a plane. They had to come for her. They just had to.
Concrete angel
A black car stopped in front of the plain white house.
A statue stands in a shaded place
She looked up at the man standing over her, and, for the first time, she looked up with eyes full of hope.
An angel girl with an upturned face
He'd come for her… Professor Xavier had finally come for her...
A name is written on a polished rock
"It's over now, Amelia," he whispered soothingly. "You won't hurt any more."
A broken heart that the world forgot
"I had no idea! I swear!"
"You mean she was a mutant?"
"You mean Aman- Amar- Ama- that girl in my math class?"
Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
The whole of the Xavier Institute stood outside to greet their newest member, bowing their heads as the coffin was lowered into the ground.
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where she's loved
"We gotta get faster, Chuck. I'm gettin tired of funerals."
"So am I, Logan… So am I…"
Concrete angel
So yeah. If you just wanna hit that magic review button and tell me what you think...
Thanks
