Notes About The Poem

 

 

                                            Wouderd and bewildered.

Washed Rubbed Srubbed Hung Up And Left To Dry

Scrubbed rubbed the wrong way
And left hung up to dry
Blown away in the wind
Treated like a leper 
I wasn't perfect but I tried

Treated like a sinner
Condemned sentenced
Feeling small
with no judge or jury
When I hadn't sinned at all.

“ i wasn’t perfect but i tried” that line hits so strong and deep dear peter. This flows with such sincere emotions, and sometimes, we dont get what we give but we still give and that is a comforting thought to know that we tried despite all, and to be treated like a sinner condemned and sentenced is not fair, when one is innocent. This really is poignant and powerful, felt so much reading this. Sending you light
