Untitled Prose Journal Entry

A Poem by Karissa A. Kelly
"

Some thoughts I jotted down on a very distressing day.

"
Pain and humiliation
are an inevitable
even mandatory fact of life
when you're perceived to be inferior. 

The sky is the limit
for those who have never been taught
anything other than
they are God's gift to mankind.  

While the rest of us must sell ourselves short,
They thrive.
While they feel so inclined to pursue their wildest dream,
We merely survive.
While they ravage and harm us for their own desires,
We die.
And not one but the wounded
will bat an eye.
