When it spit me out like rotting flesh, I could not believe how much my prayers were unheard and my pleas unanswered day after long day.
How could this be, that I, as a worthy woman was continued to be denied.
Growing up similar to those around me seemed to matter none. I still had not heard from above.
I did not know which way my life pivoted and I would be lying if I said I was not scared of the unknown faces and untouched minds of below.
The impressionable future fingers grew up among the trees. My eyes looked to the clouds for peace. This feeling never lasted long, but I got enough relief to last me for a while.
I eventually had to search for more.
In this darkness, I continued finding what gave me strength and silent hope.
In the narrow slits of the empty alleyways, I did not take my eyes off the coveted prize of truth.
I wanted a monster to grab me, but the darkness rejected my wish. My mercy was ignored and all desires disappeared into the city waterways.
I waited for darkness to dispatch me to another place. Life or death or anything in between the two. I did not want to ever return.
