Misguded Soul

unwanted

unloved

shoved around from place to place

trying to find somewhere

for her soul

her being

to stay

in shelters

in homes

in jail

in hospital rooms

restrained

drugged

supporting her habit

for anything

to forget

chemically depressed

the diagnosis of her life

she died inside

while trying desperately

to die on the

outside

nothing worked

laying on the hospital

bed

strapped down

mouth taped up

to be kept from

being heard

her thoughts drowned

she decides to survive

not live

survive



branching out

alone in the streets

stripping

waitressing

anything

to make ends meet

living in cardboard boxes

abandoned houses

meeting the man

not of her dreams

but

the man for her soul

verbally

sexually

mentally

abusing

the man for her strips her

dignity away

leaving her

naked

with nothing

impregnating her

complications

almost dying to save him

leaves her soulless

empty inside

only depression

and

tears

fill her up

kicked out in the pouring rain

blood pressure rising

fainting in the streets

drenched

alone

without her baby

and

with no other choice

but to survive

on her own

though

not for herself



on her own again

with nothing

but the clothes in her back

no clue as to what to do

next

someone from her past

comes to her

rescue

spreading love

money

positive fortune

her way

she hesitates for a while

unwilling to share her

love with

another

he seems to care

at the moment and for that

moment

she put her guard down

realizing that was the worst

thing she

could've done

dependant

loyal

trustworthy

to the man

who seemed to care

emotionally

sexually

drained

she had nothing left to give

taken for granted

showered with materialistic

offerings

longing for

love

support

a shoulder to cry on

she does

the only thing she could

to save what was left

of her soul

kneeling down

head bent

hands stuck together

cross hanging from her neck

praying silently with tears to the

man above

he takes her hand

and

she sees the light

hoping it's her time to go

to the only man

the only man

for her soul



dark

wet

silent

wondering what went

wrong

realizing she is  

six feet under

though

still drowning

yet

no one hears her cries

no one cries for her

swimming around a pool

of nothingness

is her fate

her destiny

for all eternity

unwanted

unloved

just as her birth

is her death
