And the Child Cries
Guilty! Branded!
Declared unclean!
Pariah! Scum!
What does it mean?
To be shunned,
To be outcast,
Outside, unwanted…
How long will this last?
Hurting so deeply,
Yet feeling numb,
And being too smart
Just to play dumb.
Aching and empty
Yet trying to hope,
Fears, hurt, anger,
Trying to cope.
Yet what have I done
To be treated this way?
It must be quite horrible
Because no one will say.
ã23 October 1992, Daphne Yvonne Bradshaw.
