Mercy
I had not
known mercy.
18 years of abuse
cheated out of
love
care
protection
sanity.
The asylum didn't
know mercy either.
March was cruel with
nurses, medication, deprevation,
assault.
April brought merciless
events.
rape, betrayal, disownment,
suicide attempts.
The absolute shattering in my broken, longing heart.
May brought light.
A new family,
A real hope,
Love,
mercy.
mercy.
mercy.
