In a Whisper
written by:Brandee Augustus
It was something I thought I would
Never get over. I mean, think about it, how do you get over the pain from the words of
someone you considered
A friend, if not your best friend.
With it happening twenty-five years ago, it's a wonder why it plagued so
Heavy on my mind and waking thoughts.
It was just just four little words, "You're mom is ugly."
Seeing yourself in your
Precious mother's
Eyes can make you believe that you are this distorted creature who could never be loved or
beautiful; however, I grew to learn that the
Real "ugliness" was in the person that said the words and have learned to listen to a heavenly
whisper that keeps my mind free!
