For She Knows Not What She Does

If you wondered what smelled like a dead body It was me Because I haven’t showered in weeks And I am weak in the knees And I am slowly feeling absolute atrophy As opposed to absolute apathy Please don’t be mean I haven’t got it in me To reciprocate your demands I am waving My hands My white flag erect and begging For you to spare my dignity I haven’t got it in me To fight back Or react to your attack Laugh if you want or taunt I’m not going to flaunt my defeat I’m off my feet Laying clearly for you to kick me I give up trying to beat your negativity You’ll one day say to me You were right honey Maybe I should have been more happy But why does an evil heart Attach itself to a sad one The parasite leeches on for Another fun run While its host just slowly Starts to disintegrate The parasite gets its kicks From poisoned bone marrow and A Weakened immune system Or worn out friendships and A longing for the past Just remember, I’ll never fight back. And Thy God shall forgive Them because they know Not what they do. I truly and honestly believe That this wholly applies To you.

It takes a strong woman to show forgiveness and not "fight back" when others are unjustly abusive. I admire the woman I see in this poem, Sara, as there are some who feel contentious behavior somehow makes them superior. Only a person lacking compassion would kick someone when they are down. Welcome to Poetry Soup. Best Wishes, Carolyn
