The Grudgery
Prose or poetry
X Marks the Spot
I think I have been dropped
in the swamp
of eternity's waste;
a cesspool of Earth's discarded atrocities.
Oh, whatever have I done, Lord?!
However can I make this right?!
Do not punish me for the sins forced upon my eyes.
I was genuine in my nurturing and kindness,
in forgiveness,
in faith.
I only offered up all of myself
to ease just a little bit of humanity's pain.
I am only the carrier of burden, sir.
A generational curse swaddled me in the womb and
nearly strangled me
as I took Nature's first breath.
And I have been fighting to survive ever since.
