Wearing the Shame

Near the deserted site                      
Dampened by rain                                         
She sits wearing disgrace                  
Drenched in dark pain                                   
Cling of anguish deepened                        
As forsaken                                                                         
Looks down upon herself                          
Pureness taken!

Have again made me feel happy. At some future point I will enjoy sharing with you some of my conflicts, not different from what we all feel, but an important issue never the less. TX BC
