OPEN WOUND

Updated: Oct 3, 2018

Left in the torture of life to fend for herself

Exhumed from the care and tenderness of her mother

She is laid bare to the drench of the rain and scorch of the sun

She is slave of the moment, an unfortunate ordeal walking the earth

With no taste of bread or so much as the soothing taste of water drops

She is swamped in her lonely world

Trekking down her path in solitude

Deserted by him who called her daughter, and lost from the sight of that she calls mother

She is an epitome of pity and a reflection of pain and shades

She is without home and hope

Left only to the comforting hands of the peaceful air that dries up her tears whenever it crosses her path

With nothing to eat, she is left with the wearing taste of her thumb; a gruesome sight to behold

She hopes as she walks that the mercy hand of God and the serene hands of men find her path and greet her with love and friendship.
