Hurting

Pain
Relentless
Dull aching throb
Seemingly incurable

To be a nurturer
With no one to nurture
No one of significance to care

Stabbed repeatedly
By a wicked angry dagger
All life force seeps out of me
Feeling so worthless and scorned

But a shell of fragile ego
So very vulnerable and ignored
Here I am begging for a reprieve
