Soiled Dove

Soiled dove.

I don’t know where u have been but I know where u can be.

I see the hurt beyond that carelessness.

The pain in ur words .

Where u been I don’t know.

But where u are u don’t deserve to be.

What  great trial did you encounter?

To think urself unworthy.

Soiled dove.

Your beauty is priceless.

Ur eyes should be a glow of divine favour.

No great trial should rob u of your freedom.

No great man should use you as an instrument.

Soiled dove.

What great men took ur innocence and threw it to the wolves.

Who told you that you could never recover?

Don’t let ur hurt grow into a block of ice.

Soiled dove.

Your soul should be a musk of strength and courage.

Not a soul of hatred and ignorance.

What greater trial did u encounter to appear so lost?

What duchess told you, you are unworthy?

Soiled dove.

How many great doves have rose from their doom.?

Who cut ur wings and crippled ur soul.

What do you think the wings are for?

You purity should overcome all hate.

Your peacefulness should be the barrier of strength.

Soiled dove.

Wipe those tears from ur eyes.

Dnt let them soil ur beauty

Dnt let them break ur stride.

Soiled dove.

Open your eyes and see the beautiful person in the mirror.

I love this piece! so emotive! i love how you touch on the many different themes affecting women: heartbreak, insecurities etc. the oxymoron "soiled dove" is brilliant and paints a vivid picture of a beautiful women who just needs to look inside to find that beauty and purity again. Great work!- Y.L Ndlovu
