Abused
Stripped of her cherished dignity
like a rose trampled on the ground
her world seems to come to an end
as she attempted suicide severally
but death wouldn't welcome her
She became a shadow of herself
a dark tunnel of beautiful bitterness
with every thought like a sting in the heart
making her feel unwanted in the world of men
like a shaft carelessly blown by the wind
Hated herself for such loathsome act
for the evil that befell her engrossed her heart
with feelings of self-rejection and dejection
her heart filled with acrimony
and her entirety a mirage
She became a victim of depression,
a loner and an object of mockery
her daily thought subdued
by such inhumane treatment
which infuriated her daily
Who can I lean on?
who is ready to help me?
who is willing to be called my friend?
who is ready to embrace me the way I am?
the questions repeatedly in her mind
Little did she know that there is One up there
who is ready to accept her the way she is
Someone who neither condemns nor discriminate
someone who doesn't look with contempt
regardless of the circumstances
Reminiscing and pondering for a way out
then heard her a voice saying
"do not be afraid neither be discouraged
for i will never leave you nor forsake you"
but it appears to her like a trance
Again she heard the voice saying
"I am a refuge for the oppressed
a stronghold in times of trouble"
after hearing this again this time
it appears to her like a dream
Not until she heard one last time
"even though you walk through the
valley of the shadow of death
you will fear no evil, for I am with you
my rod and my staff will forever comfort you"
She became dumbfounded
took a deep breath
inhales relief after a long while
as she ascertain that HOPE
was actually speaking through her
A new name breathed on her
as she got back on her feet
and rose above her past
erasing it off the deepest ocean of her mind
where there is no revisitation
From ashes to unprecedented beauty
a source of hope she becomes to many
who were overpowered by same situation
her life a mirror through which
others could see themselves
Life might treat you so unfairly
circumstances might try to define
you
never allow the storm sway you off
just hold on "help is on the way"
if only you look up to the old rugged CROSS
