Ravaged


mirror on the wall cracked

from misuse, reflects an

image of discontent that has

ravaged my countenance

for years...   eyes flooded

with regret no longer hold

back the rivers of depression

and despair I have worn like

protective garments against

the cruelties of society...  

they have stolen my modesty

leaving me standing on the

corner like a common whore,

my bleached out hair is so

thin is has no where to go 

except wrap itself around my

mind like a turban...  my

parched mouth is toothless,

I eat with a straw feeding the

remnants of my life to those

who dare follow me....  I am

heatless and soulless and am

oftentimes clueless when it

comes to matter of the heart.
