Frozen In the Snow
FROZEN in the snow,
she was running with nowhere to hide,
Mental illness took its toll,
for there was no one to confide.
A lonely lamb lost in
the universe,
a lion protruding silence in the depths
of her madness-
She took only with her a journal,
writing verse after verse,
searching for something to mitigate
her sadness.
Hospitals and medications,
finding no immediate alleviation-
What was this manic manifestation?
reduced to a nothing…God-given creation.
Searching for answers,
leaving more questions to bear,
forgotten by the world,
while being nailed to a cross-
Treated like a foreigner,
lived a life not fair,
and her sanity has paid
the desolate cost,
stare. stare. stare...
at the windowpane frost.
Thrown like garbage in the
wastebasket-
FROZEN in the snow.
just another closed casket.
