Caitlyn Ellison Poet Blitz

Child of His

Keep going 
Keep pushing 
Pushing out the hate
Pushing out the words
Words that spit like venom 
Words that roll of the tongue with ease
Ease of not thinking
Ease of hurt
Hurt is the easiest to inflict
Hurt normally goes unnoticed
Unnoticed when he doesn’t love
Unnoticed he shows me my worth 
Worth nothing to him 
Worth hurting his child
Child of God I am 
Child of his I am not
AM 
NOT!

Thomas Carney October 4, 2015 at 3:37 PM Needs work Bubbles, as I gather this was only a first draft, but it is a powerful ensemble and hit me hard for the protagonist. At some point this child of God will flourish, without need of a man right now. Best. Thomas
