Beautiful Scars Poet Rhyme

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.
