A poem I wrote a while back about domestic abuse and depression. Hope you enjoy! <3
"It takes one to see one..."
___
Somewhere much farther
Than where you are right now, she sits
Curled
Up and bruised,
Arms wrapped around her dirty knees,
Her head tucked, no shoes.
Her tears
Like great rivers coursing
Through ruts of dirt,
Her mind,
Ablaze,
Alert.
She waits,
And waits – her fragile heart worn,
Stillborn.
Why are the heavens vicious
To the gracious? Like the children it steals away
But mindless to the ones who hurt
…To the ones who pray?
Somewhere much farther
Than where you are right now, she dies
Curled
Up and scarred,
His hands wrapped around her dirty neck
And he releases, no regard.
