Sometimes, neglect can be as painful as abuse.
To all the women who have ever felt alone, unwanted, unappreciated, or unloved.
This one is for you.
Blooming in the Dark
Unappreciated sacrifices
replaced dreams that slowly died
her aging petals wilting
from the silent tears she cried
Forgotten and all alone
hummingbird with no sound
heart beating without love
petals sinking to the ground
Depressed in her little corner
neglected and unmarked
an unappreciated flower
forever blooming in the dark
