death by scorn   death by a broken heart

death by scorn death by a broken heart

A Poem by marilyn 1225
"

we all or almost all of us, other than the lucky beautiful people, have suffered from the trampling of others on our soul , our spirit, and our heart

"
 a little insect   moves as fast as can be, no do not step on him
but yet he is stepped on and squashed by a giant shoe.
likewise, we are not so different, instead of a shoe squishing us to oblivion
we are squashed by harsh words, ignorant ignoring, displays of  flashy beauty that can never be ours   and 
the most powerful of all, a broken heart

so we , like the insect, have insides, and we wither and slither
and eventually die..if not of old age , physical impairment
or a dreaded disease
we die instead   of a Broken heart by one or many
other human insects wearing their giant shoes :
 they are too unkind to bother
to keep safe
our heart and soul
   we do not count............
anymore.....
