A Scarlet Letter

Sep 02 '04    Write an essay on this topic.


The Bottom Line be careful

My initials used to have three letters
I now only have one.
I live with a blood red character across my chest
that I will never live down.

I used to have adoration, friendship and pride....

Now every time I cross a path,
I am looked at with scorn.

No one remembers the times
that I was called beotch, stupid, tramp, crazy, or who-re
what everyone remembers is that I am no longer adored.

With a love like poison,
that put me in a prison,
With a love that had no reason,
like the beating in the closet...

or the slam on the floor,
or the slap in the face,
or the push against the wall,
or the locking of the door.

Now my friends look at me with suspicion
the same ones that didn't blame me.
the same ones that wanted to save me.

but didn't.

I saved myself.

And now I am just a who-re.
